There is a wildfire in Manitou, right next to the Incline.  May, Candy and I did the Incline this morning.  Candy and I were at the top around 10 AM, and got back down at 10:55 AM.  It started at 11:30 AM.  We just missed it.  Crazy.

One thing I find totally suspicious is that there was a group of people when I got there, and some of them were SMOKING!!!    All I remember is that these two girls were in a little dark Honda-like car that had a Cuban flag hanging on the rear view mirror. I always check those out since so many Filipinos have the Filipino flag. They were with a guy in a beat up van with a broken window on the drivers side who also had a Cuban flag on his rear view mirror.

Candy beat her first time up the Incline by 10 minutes!!! I finished right around 49 minutes, which was actually 2 minutes slower than my best time. But I was okay with that.

I’m going to be so bummed if the Incline isn’t hikeable after this
