Now the Calwood Fire moving into Lyons, Colorado Area

View from the Fey Lyons farm in 1972, Stonebridge Farm as it named. The mountains in the background are aflame today. The Feys (my inlaws) had a farm outside of town for many years.
Both sides of the Rockies from the Colorado Front Range north of Boulder to western end of the Rockies just east of Salt Lake – fires everywhere.
One of the places now under fire alert is Lyons Colorado – a few miles outside of which – where Nancy and siblings grew up… where we spent so much time over the years, where our 1975 wedding reception was held in field along the property’s west ditch. The farm, Stonebridge Farm, could be on the fire’s path from what I can tell.
At one point last night, the fire jumped to the east of Highway 36 towards Longmont, the north-south road between Boulder and Longmont, but firefighters were able to neutralize it.
As of this morning: Road Closures according to the Boulder Office of Emergency Preparedness.

To me it seems just another reason to wear a face mask. With the smoke in the air it seems there will be health issues down the line
