I was premature in my declaring the Big Elk fire out near Eastes Park (I should not believe everything I hear on the radio). Actually, it jumped a ridge and has spread to 1,500 acres. Yesterday (July18th) a slurry bomber crashed while fighting the fire. Cause unknown. But it is known that some low-life, scum-sucking, lower-than-whale-sh**, SOB started it. No suspects at this time.<br> I'd like to report the fishing is terrific and all are welcome but the fires and drough is occupying the thoughts if many.<br><br>
