As monsoon clouds threaten rain overhead, the wooden decks designed to hold tents on Carrie Hoffman and Zachary Minnich’s 10-acre property are empty. Just north of Williams, the couple has used those 10 acres to support themselves since 2019 when they began renting out seven campsites on the property. In addition to those campsites, they also have offered yoga and hiking retreats. kAmqFE D:?46 =2DE J62C[ E96 @A6C2E:@? 92D 366? @?

Dark monsoon rain clouds were overhead and the first few drops were falling last week when APS fire mitigation supervisor Brian Kelley stood alongside a power line west of Flagstaff.
