There was a note in the logs for this cache that CSFD signed it when they came across it working on the Waldo Canyon Fire.  This one was just 50 yards from the fire's edge.  There are others in the park that were destroyed in the fire and some that survived it - with charred logs still inside the container today.

Snow day today!  Power out in the a.m. from wet, heavy snow - but much nicer this afternoon - lots of pretty birds on a short walk.

At my house - it never really went backward, that's just the camera frame rate interfering with the rate of the pinwheel.
