but it's up to 5,000 acres now and the winds are picking up. no evacuations yet, but people are on notice.

smoke's heavier down here today, too.

Can't quite figure out from the Post article if that area's in any danger from the fires. Keeping my fingers crossed for you and everyone who's affected in my home state of Colorado!

Best.

but, from what i can gather (and google maps) red feather seems to be ok, the fire seems to be moving down the canyon. it was so hazy last night and i could see the light of the fire from town. spooky.
