Draper Fire

I'm sure all of you (in Utah) have seen the fire, or at least the smoke, from the fire up in the foothills above Draper. It has spread SO far! It's amazing how fast it moved - the winds up there are pretty strong. Fortunately for me, it's all north of my house so I haven't even smelled the smoke. I took a ride up on the Bonneville Shoreline trail and got these pics that are kind of cool. The color of the sunset is caused by the smoke (which, I'm sure you could figure out given the title of the post :-) )
See the dot of light in the smoke in the right of the pic? That's the helicopter dumping water on the fire.
