NOT TO WORRY! WE ARE O.K.
Today the Waldo Canyon Fire broke out west of Manitou, which is adjacent to Colorado Springs. We are in Fountain which is in southern Colorado Springs.
They are closing the Garden of the Gods area, Cave of the Winds, Woodland Park, and part of the northwest part of town. There are mandatory evacuations reaching up to the Air Force Academy.
We visited Cripple Creek and took Route 24 to go down there for Donkey Days.
We could not return that way as they closed Route 24. It is now an evacuation route.
We returned via another route and are back in the motorhome.
