The very day after my last post, Castle Rock and Douglas County went right back to the burn ban restrictions.
There hasn't been a drop of rain in the past week and the wind has been at a high level every single day. The area is a virtual tinder-box!
Add to that the smoke plumes from a large wildfire on the Colorado/Utah border blowing straight into the Colorado Front Range, making it unhealthy to be outside for any length of time.
Interestingly, there was a story on local news this morning about a nearby wildfire that was started by lightning - on a golf course!!
I would have thought that a well- manicured and irrigated place like that would be immune to fires.
Guess not...
Anyway, the model rocket flying drought drags on as well.
