The Lime Creek Burn occurred in 1879. In 1911, it was reforested. Look at it now!
It is the thickest stand of aspens I have ever seen. Pictures on the internet show what it looks like in the fall . . . spectacular. Although I won't be alive to see it, I suspect this is what the area in the Pecos will look like in 50 years. In the long-term, fire is a good thing.
