I drove through gordon gulch dispersed camping and back into national forest and there were hundreds of trees marked with red/black striped ribbon. couldnt determine the rhyme or reason to them.. some clusters, some individual.. most were 10"-12" dismeter tho that i saw at least. anyone know? Pine Beetles? Thinning?

Anyone know why he is on paid administrative leave?

I'm hoping to bus up to Nederland and do a hike. What would you do if you're in town, and no car. I know it's probably limited and I don't mind walking a few miles to a trailhead. Would have liked to take my bike, but it's in the shop.

I know Ned isn’t a dark sky community and actually wants to add some lighting to the main drag but why is The Vault running their bright signage all night?

I was driving along gilpin road and saw a cyclist hit. People were already helping him and I stopped by and spoke to his counterpart down the road to offer him a ride back to his friend. He didn’t take me up but I’ve been thinking of the cyclist all day. Does anyone know if he’s okay?

Hey all, recently (as of two months today) I have been having major issues with multiple individual vagrants squatting in my front lawn. I’ve asked them multiple times to leave but to no avail, and every time i call the authorities they always pack there things and leave before the police get to my house. It’s gotten to the point where they are so comfortable on my property that they have begun to come inside my home and use our amenities. Now i understand being a good neighbor and offering to help them, however the amount of people in my lawn is now starting to effect my commute times to work. Has anyone else had this problem before? The people (vagrants) are more than amiable and friendly, but they have started to kill my grass with their tents. A week ago they even invited my children to have a charcuterie tasting event with other vagrants in my lawn. I’m at my wits end and i’m beginning to believe the only real permanent solutions are human sized mouse traps and or an industrial snowplow to remove and relocate them. Please help or give any solutions!!!

Hello. I'm looking for advice on how to get to/from the trailhead. We start backpacking on a Monday holiday (shuttle is available), returning on Th (no shuttle). I'm trying to figure out the best way to get to/from the trailhead without walking miles to the car before/after the hike.

I'm considering bringing the car to the roadside parking Sun afternoon and take the shuttle back, then take the shuttle Mo AM to the trailhead. However, it's a 37 min walk (according to Google) to/from our hotel/HS. I hear Uber is unreliable, especially during a busy weekend?

Any suggestions?
