Wow, hope the wind keeps the ash/smoke at bay. Nothing worse than being stuck in a draw or lower area that has filled with smoke.

 

This has been such a wet spring that the two dry weekends we had, everybody burned their pastures. I would guess that 85% of the pasture land was up in flames at one time, with no wind. It was terribly hard to breath and see. Was weird to spend a day buring our pasture, then leave and never feel like the fire was gone.

 

Jim, better hose down the MJs!
