The End of an Era...We are Shutting Down the Messageboard

The messageboard is now in read-only mode and no new posts or topics can be created. We will leave the messageboard up for historical purposes, but you will not be able to make new posts or comment on existing ones.

We have started a Discord server and hope that you all will join us on there. Technology has changed over the years and maintaining the messageboard has become somewhat of a pain in the butt and Discord offers many features for users, the main one being a very polished mobile app.

We really hope you all will join us on Discord and think you will like the platform. Use the invite link below to join.

Been thanked: 1 time

Hope all our brethren in CO are safe over there. I know KD frequents the Colorado Springs area.

I'm perfectly safe right now... I live north of Boulder, so the Springs is a long ways away for me (hour and a half).



You must have me mixed up with UT Twintip, he lives down in the area (Monument, I think?) so he's really close to the fires. Fingers crossed for containment soon, the thing has already destroyed 360+ homes, making it the most devastating in Colorado history, and I think it's at 0% containment right now. The weather is significantly cooler today, hopefully that helps.

KD -how far are you from the Big Meadows fire?





Over 360 homes destroyed in the Black Forest area with another 50-70+ unconfirmed because of road blockages...2 deaths confirmed also. Just heartbreaking.

We're good. We live in Castle Rock, a good ways away. There were a few days we got nervous. Even made a Go-bag. A small fire broke out due west of us, but they contained it to only a few acres. Then the winds shifted north, Wednesday i think, that doubled the evacuation area.
