    Re: Black Forest Fire

    That is scary, my thoughts go out anyone in that area. I read that 8 homes have already been lost. I will be keeping my eye on this, it is only about 25 miles SSW from my place. While me area is not a forest, the forested areas come as close as a mile and half west of me

    Re: Black Forest Fire

    Some pretty intense shit that's for sure. I'm only about 4 or 5 miles from the lower edge of Black Forest. KRDO News 13 had live aerial footage of homes burning. Crazy to see them going up in real time.

    Here's one from my house in Stetson Hills

    Here's another one of earlier when it was really cranking up. I was up off of North Union by Powers

    The high winds and heat are going to make it very difficult to battle.

    Just snapped another one real quick as sun was setting. My Droid doesn't like taking night pics. But this is best as I can get. Shows the glow from my house.

    As I was heading home today I could see the smoke plume from northern Parker. Once I got down to Franktown it was very visible but too dark to take a picture

    Jesus, that total jumped up fast. The last thing I heard was 92 or so.

    If anyone needs some bike storage I've got a garage in Aurora. I don't have a truck or trailer, but if you can get it here I'll store it.
