<DIV>Greetings from Kitt Barger!</DIV>
<DIV> We finally got our computer working (or should I
say Thomas did). I believe that the East Entrance was closed behind me, so
I guess my decision to head directly for the entrance after our Fan and Mortar
event cycle was a good one. I took several pictures as I made my way out
of the smokey area. Smoke started to take over the sky at Sylvan Lake and
by the time I started down from Sylvan Pass the air was thick with smoke.
The sun had disappeared behind a red-brown cloud that plunged the area into a
false dusk. I felt sorry for the two people who were still flagging the
road (one at the beginning of the construction and another part way down).
I stopped to photograph a young bull moose just outside the East Entrance and
man asked me if they had turned me around also. I told him, "No, I just
came out of the Park.) I told him that if he was on a motorcycle then he
wouldn't have wanted to breath that smoke. I believe that I came through
the gate at 1613. Anyway, I'm home safe. Keep posting! I miss
the Park already. Kitt Barger</DIV>

<DIV>Be it Columbine 2 (which is what I was told by NPS) or Columbine 1, it
obviously is rather serious as it has apparently burned out of the Columbine
Creek drainage, over the ridge into the Middle Creek area... Kitt, did you
make it through before the closure? (Probably not!)</DIV>
