Colorado burning

[madamesilverspurs]

I was attending a garden party/cookout in Greeley, roughly 40 miles to the east and south of the Poudre Canyon where a huge fire now rages; the wind shifted and I had to to head for home as the wind now carried more than a whiff of smoke. A friend who lives on the north side of Cheyenne, Wyoming just posted this pic to facebook. Looking south, that's the plume from the fire outside Ft. Collins, Colorado. It's going to be a long, uncomfortable summer.

1. This is awful. Poudre Canyon is a beautiful place.

3. I love that part of CO.

Greely,Fort Collins,Poudre Canyon,Estes Park.it's like Montana without the hillbilly's
Many happy memories of sipping margurita's in the hot tub on those cool summer night's and hanging out with those fine folk's.
I hope everyone there is alright.
