Smoke In The Foothills

[GilpinGuy]

Colorado is still in extreme drought. Last week a forest fire started from a camp fire that was doused with snow, then melted through to ignite surrounding vegetation. Four miles from us. Two miles west of
the Cal-wood fire that burned last October.

Fortunately we've had a foot of snow in the past few days. I've been busy clearing snow. But we are lucky. Conditions are dry from Nederland south to I-70 and west all the way to Eisenhower. And dry from Avon to Grand Junction. We need a lot more snow.

No doubt. We need a TON of snow in the next few months or it's gonna be another tense summer.

Kinda wanted to respond to the CO State Patrol officer, at my front door, "this isn't my first rodeo" but thought better of it. Been through a few fires in the last 20 years.
