Fire Restrictions?

[MikeSModerator]

What fire restrictions are in place in Northern Colorado?

I kind of poked around and found little.

Given the recent fire activity and warm weather along the Front Range, the public is urged to know what restrictions apply to the areas they visit. Please remember many counties have fire restrictions in place and they apply to federal public lands as well.

The Sulphur Ranger District and Pawnee National Grassland are not currently in fire restrictions, but visitors are still encouraged to use extra caution during the higher fire danger across many parts of Colorado.

This is off the USDA Forest Service as of September 30

Still could find nothing in ‘Black and White’ that says Weld County
is not under any kind of ban.

Our NCR leaders will keep us informed as NOV. gets close. That is
the cool thing.

The key is dead grass. IF we have a North site full of dead, dry grass, adding water (rain) does little to cut down on potential fires. We certainly deserve a launch day though, hoping to hitch a ride with Xman.

You are correct. Much grass.

It has been saturated here. Ground wet four inches deep. Soggy leaves.

Hope for the same.

What we really need is a big dump of snow to knock down the grass and keep the ground moist. Or a herd of bufflao to crop it really short. As far as I have been able to determine, Fire Bans are being lifted but extra caution still dictates opportunities. I will be speaking with the USFS this week about scenarios. Stay positive and plan accordingly.

Joe, we need someone to show us the correct rain dance at the next general meeting… oh, like, el Presidente? You know, so we’re all on the same page, or, ‘er, um, dance.

[Jeffrey Joe HintonModerator]

Well, you put your left foot in, you take your left foot out….. What IF the Hokey Pokey IS what it’s all about?

[Warren B. MusselmanModerator]

I thought it was…

“just a jump to the left…
and then a step to your right
Put your hands on your hips…
and then the knees in tight.”

[Bruce R. Schaefer]

Ha, good one, Warren! I think the Hokey Pokey is the dance you use to put out a fire, only speeded up a little, not asking for rain. “You put your left foot in, you take your left foot out (quickly), etc., etc., then you shake it all about…”

I think we need a launch! You guys need somthing to do! 😉
