Just heard from my brother-in-law and they are evacuating the area west of I-25 to Garden of the Gods. Manitou Springs has already been evacuated. He sent a couple of photos:

Yeah. I read a little while ago that the leading edge of the fire was about 4 miles from the Air Force Acadamy.

The Flying W Ranch went up in smoke.
Those pictures are scary imagine being in the area and seeing the flames in real time.

I hope they rebuild the Flying W. Sure enjoy those steak dinners with the cowboy songs. Not the nasal, horrible C & W of today. Their group specialized in good old Sons of the Pioneers style of singing. Kept expecting Roy and Dale to step out onto the stage.![]()
If any of you are interested....the major Colorado Springs TV stations are available on-line for streaming. I watched live and video taped stuff earlier on Wednesday on my laptop. WOW it was horrible to see those beautiful homes going up in balls of fire.
