When I was touring out west in '00 the Bitteroot Valley in MT and then Yellowstone experienced major fires not long after I passed through. My destination was Mesa Verde National Park. Was living in the park for five days with some friends who were interning there when the park caught fire. We had to evacuate into town, where the rest of the students were staying. Lost my tent in the fire.
In 2017, a couple of areas I rode through in MT caught fire a few weeks after I passed through.
