Smoke In The Air

Three fires in the city of Colorado Springs today. One was near my buddy's house at Stetson and Peterson. He was in the neighbor's backyard with a hose.

I was in Breckenridge yesterday. Dillon has no water in it and the surrounding mountains are already free from snow. It's gonna be a nasty summer.

My son lives a block and a half from the Stetson Hills fire, just West of it. I left work and got to his place and as I was approaching I saw the flames above trees/structures. We evacuated his valuables to vehicles and waited. The wind was blowing strongly to the east, but after the big fire up near Boulder a couple of months ago we didn't take any chances. An hour later scanner traffic indicated the fire was "under control" and "surrounded" so we moved everything back into his place then went back to my place to get his dog. Was kind of spooky for a while.

Unusual sunset today with smoke over Pikes Peak. There is almost a 1000 acres burning west of Cripple Creek and Teller 1 is closed according to the news.
