We have a fire down south now, at the base of the Spanish Peaks. It sounds like they have evacuated the boy scout ranch. Hoser, we may need you tomorrow. That fire is in heavy timber. I have hunted the area and there is a lot of fuel in there.

Which side of the mountain?
We have a second home down there. And after talking to neighbors it's about five miles from our house. We're on 35 acres that are heavily wooded with pinion and cedar and have $500K invested in it. I'm sure the fire would move faster than the time it would take use to drive down there and remove valuables (35' fith wheel, tractor, guns, furniture clothing, tools. fishing gear etc.). Major bummer here!!
Ouch, this summer is really starting off badly.
That's a horrible thought, best of luck to you.Quote:

Lid be hauling ass right now if I were you or talking to every neighbor with a pickup to load your 5thwheel with important shit and at least get it moved out of the area while you are on your wayQuote:
