Just a little update on the fire situation here in Colorado. We had a little conflagration a few miles from Leadville in a remote forest area, but for a while it looked bad. Said fire is believed to have been started by sparks from the diesel locomotive of the local tourist train. Because of the fast growing fire, the train could not return to the station and had to go some distance beyond its usual tour route in order to evacuate the passengers. Most of this tour is on a steep hillside with no means of escape unless one is a well-equipped mountaineer or a goat. And a great time was had by all.
