Today, I walked yet again up the first two miles of Camp May Road. Once again, I saw a single doe just east of FR2998. Could be the same one. I thought I heard her give a bark when she saw me but saw no other deer. On the way down the major curve below the Ocean, I saw a bigger doe who wasted no time in bounding away!
From Camp May Road, Quemazon Trail and Pipeline Road appear unburnt. I'll be glad when the forest trails reopen but so far this fickle monsoon only teases with a few drops of rain.
Looking into Los Alamos Canyon, I'm not seeing the burnt areas. Perhaps the 2,100 acres of the LA Canyon watershed that burnt in the Las Conchas fire are much further up and probably encompass the burned areas on Pajarito Mountain and the Cañada Bonita area.
Pajarito Mountain will be organizing work parties to get the mountain ready to reopen. The reseeding and establishing water bars looked most interesting to me.
