We tried to camp there for a night on the way back from Oklahoma. A wildfire started up west of the canyon, driven by 35 and 40mph winds, and west Texas is drier than a popcorn fart right now. We were not allowed to take anything, as it was be incinerated or go to jail. This a.m. after a night in a hotel, I went back for my stuff and the state folks escorted me down and I was back out in 10 minutes. And got my fees back. It was an impressive fire, about 7 miles long, and more police and fire personnel than I've ever seen in an area. The state park employees were great. To the feds there yesterday, I was never in danger and never threatened, and the fire still wasn't down even close to my campsite this a.m.
