Duckett Fire

Its wildfire season here in Colorado and with the dry conditions we have had in the south central part of the state it is in full swing. This is different from the north central part of the state where there is record snow melt runoff.

The Duckett fire is about 10 miles south of our place and over the last couple of days we can see the smoke plume. You can see it in the center of this picture, with the smoke blowing to the left (east).

The fire has crossed over from Custer to Fremont (our county) county and is over 2400 acres is size.

Tomorrow we are off to the FIBark whitewater festival in Salida and next week we are working th Royal Gorge Whitewater Festival in Canon City. I am even going to Shore Tech. training next week, this from a guy who is not all that excited about water.
