The first thing I thought when I saw Crosho fire on Monday was "campfire left smoldering".... it started right at the lake with a bunch of camp spots around. Unknown cause but I would bet money on it. No rain/thunderstorms/ lightning around for many days prior. People not local to the DRY mountain west conditions just don't realize how dry the brush and grass is, the lack of humidity and strong winds can whip up a fire in an instant. I don't have fires because I could not live with myself if I started a forest fire.... Dragging chains have started a few along I 70 in western eagle county this summer. You have to be way more careful than you think!!! Please be careful!!
