There are 35 large fires burning in Idaho and Montana with about 750,000 acres on fire at this time.
There are 23 fires burning in the rest of the states combined.
I recently read an article in a 2 year old copy of the American Horseman about the Flat Creek ranch in Southern Idaho. The Murphy Complex fire swept through it for a total of more than a 1000 square miles.
The owners still haven't been able to count how many thousands of head of cattle they lost.
We've been lucky up here in the panhandle of Idaho, but conditions are dry,dry,dry, and the temp is headed for the high 90's again. With thunderstorms predicted for the end of the week.
