We drove to Lost Creek Campground in Lost Creek Wilderness and did a few day rides and hikes on this two night trip to the landscape deeply effected by the Haymen Fire back in 2002. I was planning on riding out this morning to avoid the washboard fun in the car (since the bike is much easier to avoid the washboard), but the smoke from current fires in SW Colorado made the steep climbing breathing challenging and cut it short. Burned trees on this scale smell like fields of fresh vanilla 11 years later. Not sure if that is the combination of the brunt pine (live pine smell like either chocolate, vanilla or strawberry. Seriously. Stick your nose on up and sniff some time.) and the abundant wildflowers that grow there now they've gotten out from under the shadow of the pine forest.
