We are aware of the new evacuation zones that have come out this morning. The Highlander is NOT under any evacuation status. The town HAS gone to a yellow, get ready status, which includes most of the town businesses. That does not mean they are going to be closing, but that will be up to each business to decide. Highway 149 is remaining open and there is NO plan to close the highway. If smoke gets too bad along the highway, they will use pilot cars to assist traffic flow through the area. So if you are coming from the north (Gunnison) you will be driving through the smoke and haze. We do believe there will be significant smoke and haze in the area throughout the weekend, but are hopefull the rain will dampen all of that in the upcoming week. A community meeting will take place tonight, August 7, at 6 p.m. at Lake City Community School, 614 Silver St. Lake City, CO. Incident Management Team members and local agency officials will provide an update on the current status of the Elk Fire. We understand people are concerned and we will try to keep you updated with any additional changes that may affect your travel plans heading this direction.
