[twitchyfinger]

ya new fire up at Estes Part too. My wife and kids are being evacuated right now and told to come down, they were up there for a horse show at the fair grounds but where they were camped was just about 150 ft from the fire, so the wife tells me. Everyone is back at fairgrounds and loading up horses now though. Two bombers and a helicopter already working that one. Started in a cabin and went from there

Have and aunt and uncle who were evacuated also. this is getting crazy just heard of a new fire in Leadville too!

Oh for the love of Pete a second fire seems to be starting up down by Cheyenne Canon (Lower Gold Camp Road).

If these fires were started on purpose I hope they drag the guy through the streets when they catch him.

With this heat and no rain forecasted for at least another week we will be lucky to have any trees left in CO.

Wait another one?! Shit is crazy over at my work (Leasures Treasures/Amarillo Motel) all the shithead druggies know cops aren't showing up. This morning I kicked out two of them, they were fighting with a hatchet. One of them got cut to pieces, his shoulders were filleted and his nose was cut deep. I called the cops and they said good luck lol.

Haven't headed of any new one as of 630. Stay safe everyone!

I first saw the waldo fire when I was getting propane next door ... always mean to stop in there but never seem to get around to it (which is probably best since I'd probably spend money there ).

TV news is saying the Cheyenne Canon fire is out.

Wouldn't been an entirely bad thing. Forests in the US are grossly overgrown. For a hundred years we have fought wildfires aggressively and are now paying the price.
Fire is a natural and necessary part of the eco-system and ensures healthy forests.
Us humans know what is best of course

Protect life, protect structures but let them burn naturally.

Picture I just took from my place over by Woodman and Powers:

You live close to me. I'm @ Dublin & Powers - West side of Powers.

My wife & I were in the area so we were sitting on 302th St. 1/10th mile West of Garden of the Gods main entrance/visitors center & we watched the flames crest the ridge & start heading towards a home up there. Then we went & watched from a viewing area off of Mesa Road & watched as flames crested the ridge further East. GoG, The Navigators, Verizon call center, etc. all mandatory evac'd. Also saw planes dropping slurry but this fire is moving with the high winds up there.

Agreed. We don't need these dumbasses helping Mother Nature along by starting the danged things. I hope they catch this pyro & charge him for the expenses of fighting these fires.
