  2. Thank you, I looked for you when I flew by Mountain Valley Lodge but didn't see anyone, so headed up to get the photographs of the incident command posts.

  3. I was in the house when you went over, I went outside and you were heading north.

  4. Sorry to have missed you. The FAA has increased the size of the TFR and it now encompasses Rodeo. While the painted pony resort still lies outside of the temporary flight restriction I'm limited to flying north and west at the moment.
