Colorado fires

[+TheLeafers]

Anyone remember our "Around the World One Waymark at a Time" from a couple of years ago? It was in the predecessor to this forum.

 

The Waldo Canyon trailhead is one of many waymarks that may not survive the Colorado fires. See this fire map.

 

Our thoughts and prayers go out to those affected by this, or any other wildfires.

Another waymark, the Flying W Ranch, Colorado Springs, CO (Named Farms and Ranches category) was totally destroyed in the Waldo Canyon fire yesterday.

 

Such devastation out there, with no relief in sight.

Here is an NPR audio article about the ranch.

Hopefully, the ranch will rebuild and the waymark would be active again. As for the trailhead, I hope that they will clear the trail and reopen, then visitors will be able to document the recovery.
