The fire can be seen at night just north of Fruita on the Bookcliffs.
Roads north of Fruita are closed as is SH139 over Douglas Pass.
The bombers havent been flying much (if at all) out of GJT this week
The past few days ya cant even see Bean Man's part of the valley from central GJT.
Ashes on the sidewalk look like a skiff of snow in the morning.
Swamp coolers plugged up with ash. Had to take the pads off today and hose them and everything else off.
A f ucking bear wound up in GJT trying to get away from all that chit.

Forget about hunting any of the burn areas.

Yup, it stinks. I spent an hour today cleaning swamp cooler pads and flushing it out. We’re going to load the camper up and go north until we’re out of the smoke.

Coffee Pot road is closed as well as Sweetwater road. You won't be getting into any of that country anytime soon.

Anyone know about the BLM lands lower down? Separate agency so no way to know how they coordinate closings. I am sure there is a lot of unhospitable land there right now

The newest big fire in Colorado... Cameron Peak fire... 59,051 acres burned... 4 % contained. It has now entered the northern portion of the RMNP. The above link will show 3 pages of maps and photos of the fire. Information, Annoucments, and Closure are also there. Hope the moisture from snowfall Tuesday will help. Younews2 on Youtube.com has a 3.43 minute video at 40,000 acres burned. HH

If that fire gets a strangle hold on the Park there is no stopping it with all that fuel to burn. Just south of Jackson county in Grand County where the Williams Fork fire is was the epicenter of the beetle kill in Colorado. Hope they get a ton of snow soon!

I see the closed area is now only the burnt part. How many fire camps left, and road conditions?

Lets make a deal. E everyone go elsewhere and I will report on how first rifle goes uo there.
