This afternoon's report sounds pretty optimistic.
"47% contained, 96 acres, the entire area is at Ready level. Crews continue to monitor lines and look for hot spots and are completing hose lays around the perimeter of the fire." Also "We are retaining all resources on the scene at this time."
And this is the best part: "Night shift monitoring will no longer be conducted, however crews will remain camped within 1/2 mile of the incident."
Sounds to me like they are fairly optimistic they have the fire pretty well beat and it won't be spreading.
The weekend is projected to be windy, though the wind is expected to maintain westerly (blowing east) until Monday when it might start blowing easterly. Hopefully they'll have full containment by then, but if it flares before then and breaks containment, that's when Cloudcroft could be in serious danger.
I think I'm going to be moving a few more things down to the storage locker this weekend. I'll try to take Russet down so she knows where it is and how to access it.
