Fires

Here's a little update on the fires in Colorado, especially Pagosa and Wolf Creek.  The one below was taken from Pagosa Springs. At the time of this photo two weeks ago, it had burned about 4,000 acres. Now it has consumed over 90,000 acres and is threatening the town of South Fork.  This fire has joined forces with two others. I was also told that heroic efforts were made to save the Wolf Creek ski area.


One side benefit is that the sunsets and sunrises are really nice. It just doesn't smell very good. Denver is now "smoke free," but Southwest Colorado is not.  Will continue to try to keep you updated.
