Well, it didn't take long for a new record in damages to be set since my book was published only 2 months ago. The fire seems to be contained, but could come close to breaking into the top 10 largest wildfires in Colorado. Even though we had some moisture this spring, the moisture deficits from last year's extreme drought are still fueling large wildfires. There are 4 other wildfires going right now in the Royal Gorge, Rocky Mountain National Park, Pagosa Springs and outside of Boulder.

Attacked by a Grouse
OK - not exactly a deadly wild hazard but pretty funny. A grouse hen must have built a nest next to one of my favorite trails. Every time I rode by on my mountain bike in May she was there and ran down the trail in front of me to "distract" me from wherever the nest was. I thought she must be a very tired hen by now since at least 20 people a day go by with their dogs. The last time I went through, she jumped up and tried to bite me in the butt as I rode by!
