Smoke can be smelled pretty much throughout the Sacramento District.
There are several lightning sparked fires from a storm yesterday in
the general area of the Mescalero lands and the Capitan Mountains.
For the consortium members who live elsewhere, here are two links to
follow area fire activity, so you can check if the observatory is
threatened whenever you hear of fire in the area.
