A Sad Sight

St. Patty's Day was pretty wild and I had a blast with all my friends. None of us got too crazy, but it was still a good time relaxing for the evening out at the bars. 
Friday was uneventful to say the least and was only filled with watching some basketball and eating buffalo wild wings.

Saturday was pretty much the same as Friday, although Ivy and I did go see Red Riding Hood. Great movie!


Sunday was another 4wheeling trip. We drove a few trails that are in the Hayman Burn area. This was Colorado's largest fire in history and happened in 2002. It burned over 138,000 acres. It was amazing to be driving on the top of a mountain and look to your left and see nothing but burned trees and rock for miles and miles. Then you look to your left and see the same thing.



It was definitely a sight to see. It was a great day filled with lots of fun. Today was a sad reminder however, because our state has 3 wild fires burning at the moment. One that is growing very large without any help in sight from mother nature. It has been very dry for weeks here in Colorado, and it's the driest winter I can remember. It is suppose to be warm and windy all week. Let's hope another fire like this one doesn't come around.

  2. I grew up in Oregon, and can relate to the sad feeling of being amongst the trees that have burned. Luckily, a lot of the state parks there have started re-planting trees to help preserve what's left of the wildlife. Don't you wish they'd do that for you guys out there?
