Excitement in Payson!

Here's what we had going on this weekend...

That's the view from our front lawn Friday night. The mountain south of us was on fire and the neighborhood south of us and some of the people from our ward east of us and up Payson Canyon were evacuated. If the fire would have come closer we would have been evacuated also. They closed off our neighborhood. Yesterday morning the fire was pretty much out. The mountain was charred and the other side was still burning. This is from yesterday. This chopper was filling up just behind our neighbor's across the street. There's a pressurized irrigation pond behind their house. The helicoptor would come fill up and go dump it on the mountain. It was pretty good entertainment for a while.
