pretty wild for sure! when they start talking about square miles instead of acres you know its a big one!couple of weeks ago i saw them fighting a fire here with helicopters and those bucket things,never had saw it before here.folks were stopping on the hiway to watch.it always amazes me that those firefighters can even hope to stop a fire that large with the wind and things as dry as it is.one firefighter they interveiwed here said that as dry as it is a fire will burn the grass plumb down underground to the roots.I didnt have time to read it yet, but there was a article in the paper this morning saying as how they were looking for places to take in animals from there.ive got 500 acres out in western okla between elk city and sayre,and i think you could cut and bale the whole place off and not make three bales of hay.pulled the cattle off that place for the first time since 1935 last fall,and i dont think a blade of anything has grown back since.predicting a small chance of rain starting middle of next week here.generally have a few good rains this time of year but nothing so far except one little shower that settled the dust for a couple of hours.its so dry i'm considering building watering stations for the wildlife.put feeders out last week around the last of the ponds,have six ponds on this place and all are dry but one,and it wont go much longer without some rain.
