Colorado Fires

There is one thing I forgot to say about our trip here: when we stopped for dinner in Lincoln, Nebraska, we saw a roadrunner in a tree squawking at passersby. Then when we came out of the restaurant, we saw a fledgling roadrunner on the sidewalk - so cute! It was all feet. I assume the squawking one was the mom.

I am guessing everyone is wondering if we are seeing any signs of the fires here in Colorado. We can see the smoke from the big fires near Fort Collins in the distance, and then today there was a fire in Estes Park, but far from where we are staying. We did see a huge orange helicopter go down to Estes Lake, suck a bunch of water up, and fly to where the fire was a number of times. So that is more exciting than we were hoping things would get, but so far there is no indication that the fire will come all the way out where we are.
