Losses in East Troublesome Fire enormous, still mounting


>>>One of the most destructive fires in Colorado history has subsided, but the rebuilding efforts for Grand County are just beginning.

Formal damage assessments for structures in the county have been completed after the East Troublesome Fire scorched through nearly 200,000 acres in northern Grand County. According to those reports, 555 structures were destroyed, nine buildings suffered major damage and 34 sustained minor damage.

Among the buildings destroyed, 366 were residential and 189 were outbuildings. More than 200 were people's primary residences.

He told them to rake the forest floor, see what they get for not listing :laugh: Probably set on fire by another kook driving a Subaru with a coexists sticker on it. CA leads the way in bombings and arson.

I check all those links about once a week. Not nearly as closely as when Gravey might be on one of them.

Went to baker. Did 3 day trip with mountain madness. Originally planned to do Coleman demming route but due to washout on road we did the Easton glacier. Not a very technical route but the Roman wall is about 40 degrees gazing around 1000 feet. Mountain was crowded so we had to camp a Little lower. Summit day stars at 2:45 am. Got to summit around 9:00am. Gained around 5300-5400 feet that day. I'm not tech savvy so I don't know how to upload pictures. My son went with me. He has never been above about 6600 feet. He gassed out around 8500 and went back. All and all had a great trip. They have had a near record year for snow this year.  Hardest part of trip was getting home. Both flights got delayed due to mechanical issues. Got up 3 in the morning to go to airport. Dropped my son off at 6:30 next day.

Altitude brings strong men to their knees. Glad you had a good trip. I am no longer willing to fly. My last trip to Scotland cured me. If I can't drive there I'm not going at this point in my life.
