A Mr. John Dillon posted this photo to the Grand Canyon Private Boaters group page on Face Book. It was taken last Wednesday, July 23, on the Colorado River some 65 miles downstream from Lee's Ferry.
What would I do if I didn't have something to worry about in the weeks leading up to a major wilderness trip? Right now the Dragon Bravo fire is giving me plenty. Burning up on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, the fire has availed itself of extremely dry, windy conditions to swell to over 50,000 acres by this morning. Firefighters were reporting that the fire was 26% contained for much of the last week, but this morning it's been knocked back to just 13% contained. Sigh. I sure hope the weather becomes more cooperative in the coming days.
