thewayneLincoln National Forest is closed. No hiking, no camping, no hunting, no nothing.
Formerly living in Arizona, forest and brush fires are kind of common place. It's a different story when your house is literally in the forest and surrounded by trees. I guess the closure order is to reduce the risk of a man-made fire wiping out Cloudcroft, we'll see what happens.

We're going to be leaving in two weeks for a 5000 mile trip to VA and OH that'll last 2 or 3 weeks, we'll be taking Russet's car to the observatory to theoretically keep it safe in case the town burns. Of course, if the observatory burns and the town doesn't.... :-)
