Endless Summer

Still warm and raining frequently in Flagstaff, but that never stops progress. New highball roofs are going up in the Grey Havens, and there are still more to see...

Hinterlands go up in Smoke

A smoky sunset on the peaks. The Slide Fire burned over 21,000 acres before being contained
Just inside the upper northwest corner of the fire perimeter is Casner Cabin Draw, home  of Choss, Moss, and Renegade Roof 

Thick smoke doesn't slow this crazy bastard down
