it's been three years since the high park fire (pics from the poudre canyon)

i will never forget those three weeks of hell, fear and anxiety. the heat, the smoke, the glow behind the mountains at night. there was a staging area a couple miles down the road from my dad's and i will never forget how people would line the road each evening to salute the returning firefighters, for whom i will be eternally grateful.
