I was gonna hook the camper up and go up near Longdraw this weekend.

No wonder in the morning breeze smell like wood fire pit.

Couldn't even see the foothills from my house this morning.

[Ah Pook]

My least favorite time of the year. Supposed to be in Palisade the first of Sept.

Stay safe.

Yeah, orange light all this morning driving the bus. At 4am this morning you could really smell it. The smoke was clearly visible all morning throughout the Fort Collins residential areas. I honestly thought we would have had this happen a month ago.

On a side note, my mandatory mask did nothing to filter out the smoke, how could it possibly filter out a virus?

[Fentonite]

My mask actually helped me breath in the smoke. I started coughing and wheezing as soon as I went outside. (But I’m sure the smoke molecules are lots bigger than the virus - I don’t consider it reflective of functionality against COVID).

It sounds like hanging lake has burned from the Grizzly Creek fire which blew up over 14k acres. I'd guess the famous tree-in-the-lake would be one of the few survivors.

I was thinking the same thing. I grew up in Glenwood and hiked that trail too many times to count.
