Just left Durango on Thursday after a 4 day stay at junction creek SP. Fire is bad. It was smokey in the am at juntion creek. We drove up through Rico to telliride and it was smokey on the way up around Rico but a lot worse on the return trip. We ate at the Bar D Chuckwagon on the 5th of June. A little bit scary. Rt 550 was closed at 250 which leads to the Bar D chuckwagon. Watched helicopters dump water all evening. The fire seemed just across rt 550 at the base of the mountain. We left the chuckwagon after dark and you could see the flames plain as day. The fire was only 2400 acres then. Now it is 7400. I heard the State Police were escorting vehicles up and down 550 during the day when it wasn't to smokey.
We are now in South Fork and you can see the smoke in the sky to the north. We drove to Creede tonight and I could smell a hint of smoke in the air.
Our Prayers go out to all the firefighters involved and to all the people evacuated.
Last word I heard was they may have it comtained around June 30.
