We drove Bush Highway from Mesa to the bridge today to see the extent of damage from the fire. There's a section where it was so hot that it burned the supports for the railings and the railing is all twisted. Pretty bad right there. Most of the rest looks sort of spotty and probably further away from the road. Some of the pull-offs are closed. We couldn't get down to where the huge cactus is to see if it survived. Most of the saguaro that burned seemed to be faring sort of OK. I guess they had enough water stored inside. They're blooming. One was obviously toast. We did drive in to see how the second pull-off fared. We saw no damage and my favorite tree was still there, looking as much on tiptoe as usual!

Anyway, I love this tree. Enjoy. Comments welcome.
