The High park fire (Fort Collins) is contained in a non-populated area and they've let everyone back into their homes. MUCH cleanup, and not everyone has power. It's 100 degrees today and pretty hot work to clean up. One gent yesterday said he came back and there was a bear roaming in his yard...they've been forced out of the hills and are foraging for food.
The Colorado Springs fire has cost millions in lost homes - but they're more than 50% contained and it seems to be away from the urban area where it did so much damage.
The other fires in Colorado don't seem to be as bad...so I guess we're making positive progress!
My smoker is fired up in the back yard and I'm getting ready to smoke brats, a ham and some salmon. Tonight at 7:00 Dick Dale is playing at our local theater - my wife and I will be there!!!
Happy 4th of July, folks!
