There'll be plenty of people who can spot through the tougher stuff. If I'm anywhere nearby I'll be happy to, but it's no big deal.

But in Colorado the precipitation has been good enough to be about average for the year. I haven't seen Colorado this green for a long time. So far, I'm pretty sure that open fires will be allowed in CO in August. Yeah, there'll probably be a lot of people who wing it for the potluck with the local grocery store.

edit: I just found this link about Colorado Fire restrictions. We'll be in Chaffee County. Everything looks good so far. http://www.dola.state.co.us/oem/PublicInformation/firebans/firebans2003.htm
And a nice fire danger forecast map. Yeah, AZ is hurtin'. http://www.fs.fed.us/land/wfas/fd_cls_f.gif
