She said there is a lot of smoke and ash but they were doing good and ready to evacuate if needed. From what I understand the Kuntz's were packed and ready to go as well and the vans were off the mountain and in a safe place, please pray for all the Colorado families on getting thru this horrible disaster. | | | Re: Cross your fingers | Joined: Aug 2008 Posts: 18,213 Likes: 2 Supreme Master | Supreme Master Joined: Aug 2008 Posts: 18,213 Likes: 2 |

The Air Force Academy was closed and evacuated last night and it is just roughly ten miles to Monte and Janine's house ( I thought it was closer as I can see the A F Cathedral and Monte's house both from I-25. Jeff said This was a "Real Nasty Fire" but he and Cindy were probably OK where they live unless the winds change. It is a horrible situation out there and the worst I have ever seen personally. Linda and I just got back home Monday from Colorado and planned to go to Woodie Boogie which was cancelled because of the High Park Fire which last I heard has burned roughly 260 homes and and 70,000 acres, caused by Lightening, another fire just behind Pikes Peak on Colorado 24 at Lake George called the Springer fire, caused by stupidity, don't know how they are doing with it now. Now one in the Boulder area again, Damn it is burning up Colorado and it is just hard to accept seeing so many family's out of their homes and all belongings gone. Just prey for rain and hope for stopping the fires. I did hear tonight that this worst fire in Colorado Springs is suspicious as to arson. Which makes it worse to think with all the warnings we have heard while out there for the last couple weeks, that there are some really sick people to think this as a prank or just malicious terrorism. WELL, it just got out of hand It's just more than stupidity here this is way worse. Sorry for venting but This is where I want to live and retire someday soon and It is just a shame to hear that it was set on fire on purpose (ABC News tonight). Keep your fingers crossed and prey for rain. These are good people in harms way.

That is what is driving the fire to him.
