One near Ruidoso which is predicted to be brought under control by the 17th or 18th. Our latest info is the fire has moved away from populated areas but wind conditions can change that in a hurry. Let's hope not. The fire near Los Alamos is much more threatening at this time and there's no indication of when that one may be brought under control. It is up to each of us to be extra careful.
Campers can still use coleman- style stoves for cooking.
Forest service restrictions are subject to change at any time. We are still weeks away from our usual rainy season and as we mentioned earlier our conditions remain extremely dry. It has been unseasonably warm in Cloudcroft the past week, which is to say it has gotten up to 80 degrees a couple of days. Still very cool by flat-land standards. It has been pretty windy this week but the winds should subside as springtime turns to summer.
