Snake Lights

While taking pictures of the Golden Fire I also took some pictures of cars in the canyon and city lights.  The cars coming down the canyon look like a snake of lights.

Golden Fire Day 2

The Golden Fire, now officially called the Indian Gulch Fire is still going and growing.  As of Monday night it had burned nearly 800 acres and was moving northwest towards Golden Gate Canyon.  Out of caution, 100 homes around Golden Gate Canyon were evacuated.

Golden Fire Day 1

This last Sunday was a typical spring day with warm weather and wind.
Unfortunately a wildfire started just west of Golden up Clear Creek
Canyon. When I saw the fire Sunday afternoon it was just a few acres
on the steep canyon hillsides. However the strong winds gave the fire
strength and by that night it had grown to several hundred acres and
was still growing.

Last sled trip 2011?

We went sledding this last Sunday on 3/20. The mountains had a foot
of fresh but it was spring riding. On the north facing slopes some
nice soft snow was found but everywhere else is was getting hard.
Late in the afternoon we lost one rider for a couple hours down a
steep hill but we eventually got him out and we all made it out and
back home.

Well. Until it snows again or until next winter. Either way it's
been a great year of snow, friends, adventures and sleds. I can't say
enough good things about the 2011 Pro. See if I'm riding it next year.
