Unfortunately all that will continue to be on hold, while I hack away at coordinating what has become a multiple fire mapping event. Reminder, this is remote mapping only and lots of the new fires are in TIGER deserts (or literally the middle of nowhere); so all the help you can lend will be appreciated, please refer (and return frequently to) <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/2013_Colorado_Wildfire_Season">this page[1]</a> for information; I’ll be updating as much as possible, when I’m not mapping.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Cheers,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>=Russ<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="mailto:russdeffner@gmail.com">russdeffner@gmail.com</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>russdeffner on OSM<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>1.
