Meadowlark Member Registered: 10/05/08 Posts: 154 Loc: Northern Colorado	Hi Arney -- Sorry to not get back sooner. It's been kinda hectic. I wish I could report more progress, but the 100+ degree temps and dry winds have not let up. The fire is now at least 83,205 acres, with 248 homes and many more structures lost. At one point there was 60 percent containment, but yesterday it went back down to 45. More info here: http://inciweb.org/incident/2904/ We had a bit of a fright when a new fire started up just outside the Beaver Meadows entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park in Estes Park; last word is that it was 75+ percent contained and at least 21 homes lost. There are numerous other fires in the state, including near Leadville, Pagosa Springs, and Manitou Springs/Colo Springs. Several thousand people in the latter area have been evacuated, including quite a few tourists to Pike's Peak: http://in.reuters.com/article/2012/06/25/us-usa-wildfires-idINBRE85L1DD20120625 Hopefully we'll get some rain soon....
