DC-10 Dropping Red
About 7:15pm this evening, I was standing on my deck, as I watched a DC-10 fly along the Mt. Union ridge and drop a load of the red foam. It was an amazing sight. Of course, I got no photos.
The smoke seemed to be reduced significantly after that drop. The plane kept flying east and south, I assume towards Phoenix. No big revelation, but I was encouraged, so I thought I’d share.
This Is How Good I Am At PhotoShop. Fake, From 2 Photos Taken Today
This is not a real photo!
Deb Crann-Klemkosky took 2 photos in proximity, when the helicopters were getting water to fight the fire. I PhotoShopped them together.
This is a young couple, out on a romantic canoe ride, during a fire.
360 Tour of Walker Road Snow
This is Walker Road the day after a foot of snow.
It takes a minute to load. There’s no audio.
Controls are wonky. Try to refresh your web page or click the image if it doesn’t play. Try stuff, if you have problems.
You can move the location in the play bar to replay it.
Use your cursor/finger to rotate the movie 360 degrees. You can see it coming and going.
Try pointing it straight up and watch the tops of the trees go by.
Snow Day – About a Foot
A winter storm came through Walker last night and all day today.
It dropped about a foot of snow.
Tonight will be cold, in the teens, and tomorrow will be sunny.
Things might be melty, then icy, so drive carefully.
Avoid the area if you can.
If you don’t live here full time, it’s beautiful.
If you do live here full time, get out the snow shovel and the snow blower, because you have work ahead of you.

Always Helpful
After working with him, I was pleasantly surprised, of his dedication, kindness, & wiliness to go beyond required necessities.
He was always checking to see if everything was OK. He was willing to work with me in any situation that would arise.
He was always helpful. He gave me advice on ways of making property more sellable.
I'm thankful for all the help he gave me in the transition period.
I would definitely recommend Conrad Walton to sell my property again.
