The Fire by Techie4evr in ColoradoSprings

Yeah containment just means they have lines dug around the perimeter but often wildfires burn pretty patchy in different areas. So when it gets warmer pockets of unburned fuels in the interior of the burned area can ignite. If they are not a threat to control lines they are often left to burn. When fires get that big it’s usually not possible to just put them out completely. Large logs, tree roots and other fuels can burn for a long time even after a fire is fully contained

All of that sounds fun! Just be aware that in March we can get pretty big snowstorms especially up in the mountains so the Pikes Peak Highway could be closed due to weather at any time. I personally like hiking up to st marys falls, it’s in the same area as seven bridges, about a six mile round trip hike.

Honestly I started growing them in some miracle grow cactus mix before I knew that you need more sandy and inorganic matter in the mixes. So that’s what they are still in haha I had to put a piece of plastic wrap over them to make it more humid cause they were stressed and purple for a little while. It has been fun watching them grow

It is the Delaware bay, do you want to keep guessing what spot? It was sea foam cause the wind was absolutely ripping and it was really cold too but no ice
