Texas Melanie Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Crap! I have family in Castle Rock, Co and they don't know if they will be evacuated or not. We are supposed to visit them this weekend but it doesn't look good. I hope they get rain soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stryder1978 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 The High Park fire in Fort Collins Colorado is about one and a half miles from my house. Unfortunately for me, I am 6000 miles away from Colorado at present! Fortunately for me, there is a huge reservoir separating the fire from the western side of the city and my neighbor is watching my house and has instruction on what to grab if it jumps the lake.

Texas Melanie Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I am sending positive thoughts your way Stryder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stryder1978 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Very kind of you Miss Melanie! My neighbor won't have much time so he has been instructed to grab: 1. My box of film negatives. 2. All 8 guitars and one of the amplifiers. 3. My signed Led Zeppelin, Queen and The Cult albums. 4. One dresser drawer with other rock items - including my Jimmy Page guitar pick! I figure insurance will cover the rest - the above would be hard to replace! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe (Liverpool) Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Let's hope people are not killed by these fires, coming from a generally wet UK, I can only imagine what these people are going through. My regards and best wishes for their safety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jangles Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I know how terrifying and devasting bushfires can be. My thoughts and best wishes are with anyone living in the path of these fires. I hope all goes well for you Stryder. Please keep us informed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stryder1978 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Many thianks to all that sent well wishes. The good news for me is that the High Park fire near my home is now 65% contained and the permieter is NOT spreading! I'm sending prayers and well wishes to the folks around Colorado Springs - that fire is out of control and buring up many homes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redrum Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 It's funny, my g'friend is trying to get her neighbors to pay a little extra for fire service where she lives and most of the people don't seem to care. All they have to do is look at these pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
