Waldo Canyon Fire

[EricG]

How's everybody doing? Saw the huge smoke plume on the way back from Metberry yesterday. Thought the Springer fire has flared up until I got my bearings and realized it was a new fire. Post up if you need a hand!

 

[ElementalBoom]

Myself and some friends were up wheeling/camping this weekend near Saran Wrap and Eagle Rock, left early to come back to town this morning due to the smoke building up through the area and were met by quite the surprise by the fire.

Hope everyone is alright and safe!

The pre-evacuation warning area is almost to Woodland Park. We've spent the last few hours getting ready to bail.

 

[Man Jerk]

We were in a voluntary evacuation area yesterday and got some valuables out of the house. Hope they can make progress. Prayers to the fire crews and anyone effected

[Hoosier Daddy]

Thanks for the offer, but with the situation on the roads it's literally impossible to go back to the house.

 

[Man Jerk]

We left and managed to get most of our valuables. Scary nightmarish afternoon but we are safe and with friends.

 

[EricG]

Damn sorry Hoosier, Man Jerk Best of luck.
I'm up in the S. end of Black Forest - you guys are welcome to crash here, park vehicles, etc. But given how crazy this is I'd be thinking further south and east.

 

[UMMAGUMMA]

Good to know,Godspeed.
