Here is a picture taken about 1400 on 9/14/2010 of the Twitchell Canyon fire taking out the entire Trail Canyon drainage. It was pretty cool to watch it move to the west a couple of hundred yards at a time. This picture was taken from I-70 about half a mile west of the Fish Creek bridge. I think this is the first time Inklings has seen a fire progress up a drainage just like you would predict it would. I certainly didn't expect to see this fire get up and run again---guess we can all learn something---I did today.
These next shots were taken between 1600 and 1700 on 9/14/2010. All of the earlier spot fires were fully engaged at that time.

There will be spot fires all over hell North of this fire too.
It's raining ash on our house right now too.
way cool pictures!
Amazing pictures. Do the firefighters allow spectators? I presume you fit into a different category - getting the premium seats!
They don't allow spectators and I have to sneak in where I can---these were taken about one mile from where they had the Interstate closed down to one land and had it signed NO PARKING---pays to know where you can see the mountains though....
