    I was wanting to make a trip to Garden of the Gods this weekend, was it affected by the fire this year?

    Thanks in advance!

    So the weather guessers are calling for 50% chance of rain in the springs tomorrow, does anyone think we will get rained out?

    LOL

    The reason I ask, is the rain tends to really form away from the mountains up here, so in closer you have less chance of rain, guess we will just look at some umbrellas or not

    Depends on the time of day you hit it up. Storms are set to be just like to day, form up on Pikes about 3 ish and then push off from there. Got a couple good dumps this afternoon/evening.

    I would go early like everyone else said. Not to be a stick in the mud but please use a coat and not an umbrella, our recent storms seem to have a lot of lightning and I don't think it would be safe to be holding a lighting rod above your head!

    That's good advice, looked at the weather and our options this morning and decided to push our visit to tomorrow, less chance of rain there and here tomorrow and my dogs will be outside all day. They are inside dogs and would probably play in the rain and get all muddy, like dogs do, and that would not make the wife very happy.

    Just go early and you will be fine. Very rare that anything starts up before noon. They are calling for 60% tomorrow but like I said. the earlier the better just like long range shooting.
    I see you running, tell me what your running from

    Nobody's coming, what ya do that was so wrong.
