As of last night the Hanover Fire in El Paso/Pueblo Counties is 100% contained and all evacuation areas are open. So, Hanover Road should now be open, so people can get to Chico Basin Ranch again. The Ranch lost some pasture and animals it sounds like, in eastern part of the Ranch. All the usual birding locations didn't burn at all, it appears! We assume the woodlot on Hanover Road, which was an ebird hotspot, likely burned down, though when someone goes along Hanover Road soon, then we'll know for sure.
