Beautiful fall day here in SW Idaho. 66 degrees with a light wind.

Estes Park - Not quite the same

Great Fall weather here.

Wow David, that's terrible! Especially this late in the fall. We had 2+ days of rain here and squashed all of our forest fires. Hope yours are stopped soon.

That is the Cameron Peak Fire edging in on Estes Park.
It is the largest fire in Colorado's recorded history.
About 320 square miles yesterday.
The experts think that it may be the end of November before fully contained due to high winds every day.
Started August 13th - cause not yet known.
Two more started in Boulder County just above the city of Boulder and spread rapidly due to the winds.
I think that totals 13 currently burning.

If you haven't had any lightning storms lately, then it's arson. More than half of all western forest fires have been arson terrorists.

Mike--

I have seen a recent report that about 90% of forest fires are caused by man, deliberate or accidental.

In the current environment, perhaps more. I saw a report about a guy who was out on bail for starting a fire, and was arrested again when caught trying to start another one on a roadside.

Larry

Yes Larry, that guy was arrested and let go twice for arson, and is still free the last I heard.

What the hell is wrong with people now days. We just let these thugs go so they can do it all over. If I had my way they would be put on a frontline fighting these fires let them see how they like that.

My great fall weather is coming to a screeching halt. Snow on Saturday and low of 0 Sunday night. Burrrrrr.
