We are also seeing a heavy heavy haze in Castle Rock. It’s so thick that we were worried there might be fire burning somewhere out here but there don’t seem to be any reports of current fires in our area.
Smoke from the Squirrel Creek Fire on my home turf in Wyoming all the way down to Aurora, Co where I lived. It is unreal as I worry about family & property up there to smell it here. Not a great feeling.
We are smelling strong smoke at 12:31 pm in the Pinery today near Parker, Colorado, July 4, 2012.
