Was in Leadville, CO today and a new fire broke out there. It spread quite a bit in just two hours.

Unkus, stay safe! I know the area well - as I lived in CO for 25 years!

We are VERY dry here in AZ, too! Trees are succumbing to this drought - (and the bark beetle). Forests are turning brown - and we are praying for the monsoons to start soon!

Prayers for you and your family!

Dang! That is my favorite country! I lived in the Farmington-Aztec in 1955-6 and 1973-1977.

I wish I was there now but I like to keep 945 miles between me and my worthless brother-in-law ( If you know him he probably owes you money) in Farmington!

Stay safe everyone!

I know a lot of people in farmington but don’t know him. LOL

My grandparents lived in Aztec between 1955-1969. They had Goodrich Dry Cleaners.
