I forgot to mention, if you'd like to read about the Ijams search from 11/03, (and other interesting "Stuff", go to our website ~
www.ycjp.org. Click on Incidents and Activites and check out the 2003- 4th quarter. There is a write up and pics.
Yeah, I know, I am behind in updating the incidents. I have been call-out coordinator for 2004 and the first half of 2005 and I just haven't had "time" to sit down and write it all up, but I hope to soon!

(Yavapai County Jeep Posse)
Tomorrow I am going to do "road block" duty on Dugas road to keep people out of the north end of the fire area. Posse stuff sometimes keeps us very busy!
