Regarding fires, small risk but anything that would spark up near Estes will have full CO. and National fire support immediately, because of the park. Estes Park itself is a small 2 lane western downtown but as soon as you get out of downtown south/east, you have 3 road options (1,34,36) to avoid any long traffic lines. Going into R.M. National Park, Trailridge Road and going over the Divide to Grand Lake will be a suggested on your own drive, because of stoppage, various acts of nature. We'll hand out detailed local maps, post on website closer to the event. Campfires are not allowed anywhere. Grilling only.
We have a good group that will deal on the fly with any situation that would effect our group during the event. All want to meet up with you Florida Bird Guys, so start planning!
