but it was burning on the sides of a very steep canyon covered with fallen trees, so there was no way firefighters could get in there to fight it. They've been using helicopters for the past seven weeks, but last night the wind blew it into an open meadow on the east side of the park, near houses. One cabin burned down. The good news is that it's a lot easier for the firefighters to get in near the fire when it's in an open meadow. This is the meadow where my great-grandparents' ashes were scattered before I was born. We'd scattered a few of my grandmother's and my mom's there too, so this photo made me cry, even though my head tells me the grass will all grow back next spring. That little charred hill in the background is what we've always called "Grandmother Hill". On of my friends lost her home in an unrelated fire in Estes Park last summer, and her neighborhood is under evacuation orders now. That must be so traumatic.
