Update

This is Pikes Peak what it use to look like before the fire. I am not going to upload what it looks like right now. It will just make me very sad. Steve and I are about 45 minutes South West of Colorado Springs. I lived in Colorado Springs for about 20 years and I still have a lot of friends that live there. Some of them were evacuated and probably some have lost their homes to the Waldo Canyon Fire. The Flying W Ranch that I went to a few times is now gone. I wanted to go back there in the next few months. But it will probably be a few more years until it is back up and running again. Yesterday morning I went through Colorado Springs on my way to Denver and I didn't see anything too bad. On the way home in the middle of the afternoon. I got to Monument (just south of Castle Rock) I saw the smoke. I actually saw a helicopter land to get refilled while I was driving. The smoke was really bad. By the time I got to the south end of Colorado Springs I didn't want to stop to get gas where I usually do. I just wanted to get home to Steve.
