Slideshow: Pictures From The High Park Fire

KUNC Personnel had obtained permission to visit our transmitter facility on Buckhorn Mtn. today. They weren't able to make it up to the site, but they did bring back some pictures.

As Dave Dennis recounts:

"We were about a quarter mile from the Rist Canyon Roadblock (just past Bellvue) being accompanied by a CSU patrol officer when the Sheriff called to say that the fire had shifted and we would not be able to proceed.  The actual transmitter site is about 20 miles up from where we were turned back."

KUNC remains off the air on our main signal of 91.5fm. Coverage from Saturday is archived here and Sunday's updates can be found here.

I’m not a Colorado native (did you know that "I'm from Missouri" means "I'm skeptical of the matter and not easily convinced?") but I have lived here for most of my life and couldn't imagine leaving. After graduating from Colorado State University, I did what everyone wants to do; I moved to the mountains and skied, hiked, and hid from responsibility! Our listeners in the mountains may know me from my time in Steamboat Springs and Vail or as the voice of the Battle Mountain Huskies Hockey team in Vail.
