kingskids Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 Well 2 months and 2 days on this last trip included DFW area of Texas, passed thru MS on the way to Guntersville, AL, then on to the rally in TN, Paris, TN (too windy to fish), then family in SW Missouri, then to Madison, SD for residency, on to Gettysburg, SD for one day of great fishing - but got blown off the lake for the rest of the week. So now we're "home" for the summer in Buena Vista, CO - home of the most 14,000 foot mountains in one small county. It's cool and dry in the summer, and the rafting and sightseeing are fabulous. If you wander over this way, holler at us - we'll be happy to point out some special things and places if you want. Love to meet more of the "dark side gang"! If you like to trout fish - this is your place to be (unfortunately that's the ONE kind of fish we don't like wouldn't you know since that's almost all that's here!)... Y'all c'mon on over!

I have no chains and am sitting still until at least Tuesday (let all the weekenders get done) and really don't have to be anywhere until June 5 or 6 so we just sit & enjoy the pretty stuff.

That sounds like its headed your way, but lots of ground to cover. The fires are all around us. The southern part of Woodland Park are on pre-evacuation alert. I doubt they will evacuate. Cascade, Green Mountain Falls and area is evacuated. Manitou Springs WAS evacuated but let back in at 8pm last night. The firefighters are doing a great job on the hotspots, along with air support - serious air support. A bunch of choppers and some BIG airpower in last evening to kill a hotspot just north of us. Nothing like seeking two C-130s working a fire. They drop some serious amounts of retardant. The main fire is still going uncontained as of last night.

Here in the Northern California (halfway between Sacramento and Redding) mountains/foothills we have to deal with this. 2008 was the last time when we were on evacuation alert, meaning within a half hour of having to leave ... for 2 weeks. For a month we had to wear heavy-duty masks whenever we went outside because the smoke was so bad. The other side of the main road, only 2 blocks away, was already evacuated. It really is quite an emotional site to see those big planes and helicopters flying overhead and dumping their loads just up the road.

donf888 Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Bonnie and I arrived at our property in Wisconsin (Westfield) today (5/9). We will be spending the summer here till about the middle of September. Hey Gail -- We're wishin' we had the time to swing by, will try again next year; got such a late start this year (having to hang back in CA for family grad events, plus the house closing in Mesa), we finally heading to OH via KS (yet, another?) visit to NH factory for a couple minor repairs (and, one more attempt on the sidewall crack). We'll be traversing KS, IL, IN, OH, NY, NH (Henry's place), then back down to SC, FL before heading "home" for the holidays in Nov/Dec.

Are you staying in town? We also live very close to The Mall of America in case you were going to go check that we'd love to catch up with you. If you need a place to park you can park let me know, I've got a spot you might fit in.
