Chris, that just sucks. I've been so sad all day and my attachment is nothing compared to yours. I can't begin to comprehend how you must feel. I'm so sorry for your loss.
I am so angry that this is happening!
It literally feels like a good fiend was killed... which in a way is true. If no one objects too much, I'd like to post some photos...
These are all either in EDNF or looking towards EDNF. Not all of these photos are areas that are affected by this fire, at least not yet. Just a showcase of beauty.
Winter time (undisclosed location)
Looking towards French Meadows Reservoir from Duncan Peak fire Lookout. The fire currently is coming up over the ridgeline behind the lake.
