Hey all I just wanted to share with you a very quick glance of a time lapse video I shot of Pikes Peak from Garden Of The Gods! You will see parts of these clips and much more time lapse soon to come in fishing videos/shows. This is only my second time shooting time lapse so there is a ton of room for improvement, but I like what the clouds are doing over the Peak. There are two separate shots

Fire and smoking restrictions in effect for Pikes, San Isabel national forests

Fire and smoking restrictions are in effect for the Pike and San Isabel national forests located within Clear Creek, Douglas, El Paso, Jefferson, Park, Teller, Chaffee, Fremont, Custer, Pueblo, Huerfano and Las Animas counties. Restrictions will remain in effect until Dec. 31 or until they are rescinded.
Fire danger is extreme and, unless the U.S. Forest Service sees a change in the weather patterns soon, there remains a high potential for large fires.
The following acts are prohibited on these U.S. Forest Service lands:
1. Building, maintaining, attending or using a fire, campfire, or stove fire. (This prohibition includes, but is not limited to, charcoal grills, hibachis, and coal or wood-burning stoves.)
Exceptions: Campfires are permitted in U.S. Forest Service-developed campgrounds and picnic grounds, and only in U.S. Forest Service-provided, manufactured fire grates and grills. Petroleum fueled stoves, lanterns or heating devices are allowed on all National Forest System lands, provided such devices meet the Underwriters Laboratories specifications for safety.
2. Smoking, except within an enclosed vehicle or building, in a developed recreation site or while stopped in an area at least 3 (three) feet in diameter that is barren or cleared of all flammable material.
Actions permitted:
1. Persons with a U.S. Forest Service permit specifically authorizing the otherwise prohibited act or omission.
2. Resident owners, lessees of land, and holders of U.S. Forest Service recreational use authorizations, within the restricted area are exempt from Prohibition 1 (one) above, provided such fires are within a permanent structure.
3. Any Federal, state, or local officer, or member of an organized rescue or firefighting force in the performance of an official duty.
Even with the restrictions, visitors should be aware of weather conditions and be careful with the use of fire outdoors. Visitors should check with their local U.S. Forest Service office or go to the web to learn about specific restrictions.
