Southern Colorado Fires - Update (good news)

Just heard that the highways (US 160 between South Fork and Pagosa Springs and CO 149 between South Fork and Creede) are back open, South Fork residents have returned home, and the local RV parks are back open. So if anyone had plans to go that way you should be OK. They do caution that the fire is still burning and there will still be fire equipment moving about on the highways and care should be taken.
But great news otherwise as no structures are known to be lost.
  • Im in Fun Valley right now. We did evacuate and when we got back could not tell there had been a fire except for a little fire equipment. It now rains every day and gets very cool. Usually Fun Valley is packed with trailers at this point. I guess due to fire scare there is plenty of room to park rv.
  • Our plan is to head out to South Fork in 10 days. I never look forward to the 7 or 8 hour drive, but, I love it when we get there and get our little camp setup in our Son-in-law's back yard, aaahhh!

    Yeah, we had been there 4 days of our planned 2 1/2 week stay when we had to evacuate. :(
  • Good news! Thanks for the update. Sure is one heckuva early season in the western states. Be safe, everyone.
