K-H,

Virgil,

 

Here you go: http://www.lamonitor.com/sites/www.lamonitor.com/files/imagecache/slide-final/sent9-2asm.jpg

Figure caption in the Los Alamos Monitor reads: A slingload of marijuana plants gets ready to be picked up by a Blackhawk helicopter at Bandelier National Monument. Law enforcement personnel from different agencies raided a pot grow site Thursday morning and by Friday night had eradicated 9,200 plants at an estimated street value of $10 million.

 

Best, K-H.

... half a year after the Las Conchas Wildfire burned the base of the mountain.

K.-H.

 

I am so glad that you brought this thread back to life because I've missed it (hard to believe!) when it was around the first time.

 

This is one spectacular reportage with fantastic images that bring the place vividly into our lives. We've been to Valle Grande several times in the past (it's one of our top places to go when in NM); every time is a greater adventure than before, an exciting journey of discovery. No place like it. Thank you again, for bringing this up.

A few weeks ago, after almost a year, some roads in the Jemez Mountains were opened again to the public so that one can visit areas severely impacted by the Las Conchas fire.

Here is a recent view of a mountain above the Valle Grande into which logging roads were cut several decades ago. This area was also overrun by the Las Conchas fire.

This 100% crop shows the resulting patchwork of burned and unburned areas and several logging roads.

 

The recent Whitewater Baldy Complex fire in the Gila National Forest with around 300,000 acres is already about twice the size as the Las Conchas fire last year.
