Carnage and Fire!
Went up to Carnage (Boulder) again, but this time with only my 4runner. The trail is really icy this time of year which made it very different than usual. We also had to drive through a brush fire that was on the lefthand canyon side of the hill. (You might have seen this on the news last night) Luckly the trail didnt allow the fire to continue to spread all the way up the mountain, and all we had to do was make our way through thick smoke and ash. About 5 minutes later, a bunch of firefighters came speeding up the mountain. Here are a few pictures:

Those are really cool pics, most people never get to see that kind of thing and certianly never get to be IN one... pretty erie sometimes, thae crackling, and the kinda slow-mo that the smoke creates cause you can't see much background.

Buring scrub and cornstalks just ain't the same as PNW old growth forrest.
Either way, its fun too because you don't need an airpack!

yeah, the Steep slopes make the fuel race upill REAL fast, plus the fuel's a pretty good mix of loose fast hun, and light/heavy timber. But hey, any rippin fire's hot and could still burn ya right... Colorado would be unreal (let's all remember Storm King Mountain ) that fuel can be Really dry, and oily... And again, great pics.
