A forest-fire that began on Memorial Day in the Coronado Forest southeast of Arivaca, rages in the background in the above photo.  I was hoping the fire would stay on the south side of the mountain range, but that night through binoculars I could see bright flames as the fire made its way north over the ridge.  Luckily directional winds and back-burning by the firefighters deprived the fire of fuel and were able to get it under control about 10-miles away.
