Rocky Mountain National Park

What a beautiful place to visit. I remember being out there when I was younger. I heard the fires have burned right up around Pikes Peak, too, where I have been. It is shame that all that beauty is being burned up. It will take years to grow back. It is a sad people are losing so many of their homes too. I don't know what I would do or feel like if that happened to me. I guess I will risk the tornadoes here over forest fires in Colorado.

Colorado Forest Fires

Here you see the forest fire that was just starting North of Ft. Collins, Colorado. It was just getting a good start and my niece took a picture. They were out in Estes Park for her son's wedding. He got married just in time as they saw some white smoke just beginning to come up out of the mountains as they went up to the wedding site. They wondered if it could be a fire and it sure was and it is a bad one. They can't seem to get it under control as there is so much wind and the wind blows the sparks. It's a real bad deal for all the folks losing their homes and lifetime investment in their homes for retirement.
