Colorado burning [View all]

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.
