4 inches in 2 days in July.
68 days 90-98, @7500'. Spit on.
5 inches this month, so far. Mostly the last 2 days.
Flood watch up for next 3 days again.
Perfect monsoon setup
Low off CA and the high moved to Tejas. Spinning moisture north thru Mexico into AZ/NM.
A series of hurricanes building and heading west have pumped the moisture content.
Excessive rainfall thru Sat. now.
Had to wait half hour for stream to go down 2 days ago. Walked out with shovel to check if culvert was there. Rock...good.
Made it to store in morning before it got going yesterday.
Unsuccessful the day before due to alternator going out on Ford, top of the hill next to guardrail...20ft from end and park spot.
Back of truck sticking out in lane, hairball.
Friend stopped and chained me out after I called neighbor. Dennis came as Carlos and I yaked. He had just been hit in the Hubble as the dark headed towards my place.
Dennis and I got to my place and a new battery as it hit.......................hard.
17 years since I saw this much come down. 24 for Dennis.
Lakes to doors and streams across road. One hr for 8 miles.
Stopped at hwy and we made it to my truck. Battery in after a battle with winch cables...started again.
Not bad going back until the lakes and our normally bone dry stream...LOL , we waited.
The storm hit at noon yesterday and went til dark.
Lightning strikes every minute or so.
Open Range.
Dotti and I just watched.
Stream flowing down my valley. Seen from covered porch.
Double rainbow glowing from Dennis' place.
Woke by a bull wanting out at the gate.
The elk are back. Seen some nice racks, not many but good ones.
Ran into a guy filling up in Datil last week.
16E tag,hunted it before and scouted it in Aug. ,plus 16A for his bros hunt. Had hunted the both with good luck prior.
Not many to be seen. Dry Aug. And he figured most were in the White Mtns., or Zuni or the Rio Grande I said.
He nodded and I said good luck.
Hoping for more rain before winter and El Nino.
5 feet of snow would be a good winter.
It will make the work to be done hard, but I have 10 cords piled.
And time on my side...some.
Forecast is for half of UT and CO all of AZ & NM to get above average snowfall. The Sierras.
Maybe the pinon IPPS beetle will leave.
Maybe the range recovers some.
El Nino, bring it!
Maybe some of you will fill tags.
Good Luck and Good Hunting to ALL!
