We were on the road about 9:15 this morning heading home. The drive out to the highway – about 3 miles – took 20 minutes! While Big Sandy is a nice place to camp, getting there is challenging!
We heard about a fire that is burning near Cameron Pass – about 65 miles west of Fort Collins. It has grown to over 5,400 acres and we could see the smoke from I-80 near Laramie! Those are not clouds in the picture, but smoke from the fire! We were about 60 miles north of the fire when I took this picture!It makes me so sad because this is such a beautiful part of our state!
I am always happy when I see this sign! We are almost home. As we came into Fort Collins, the smoke just filled the sky. It was only 3:30 in the afternoon when we came down Overland Trail Road!
We arrived home about 4pm to one happy dog! We sure missed her and she missed us. It was hard to unload the RV because Penny kept trying to help us! By 5:30 tonight, the sun was glowing red behind the smoke.
We had a great time, but we are happy to be home. Tomorrow the RV will get some deep cleaning and chores here finished. In the meantime, our prayers are with the firefighters and first responders, not just at the Cameron Pass fire, but at the three other fires burning in Colorado.
