Looks like I’ll need to tweak the route a bit around Rafael but largely we’re good to go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Curly 838 Posted July 13, 2021 Another update. The Rafael fire damaged a Sinaguin ruin. The article isn't clear which one, but I'll bet it is the one we are headed to. It's a shame about the cabins. https://www.knau.org/post/rafael-fire-burned-historic-cabins-damaged-cultural-sites 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
4x4tographer 2,712 Posted July 13, 2021 Doesn't seem to have reached the ruins we were going to look at originally. However, there is a safety closure in effect through 10/31 that will prevent us from seeing the ruins anyways. The rest of our trip should be OK though. This map shows the burn area in relation to the ruins (blue sign icon). You can see that the Casner Trail was scorched up as well to the northwest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Curly 838 Posted July 14, 2021 Thanks for that image. I'm glad it missed the ruin, but it does look to have burned the old ranch house. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
