Matt -Thursday was horrifying, my neighbors house was half eaten by the hill. Heard glass smashing through the sound of the water. I have a place in Ned with clean water, power, all of it. But the 2 hours to get from Nederland to Boulder for work is not practical. Many people up here are scrambling how to get to work. I will PM you my digits, let's talk.

University of Colorado -Boulder students will be FORCED to actually attend classes, no skipping out to climb when the weather is perfect. Some will go into shock I would think,,maybe withdraw from school and move back home into their parents basement (if it isn't flooded too).

So we're trying to fill in when they can not and get the trails re-opened in sustainable condition.
Another 501(c)(3) that's accepting donations for trail rebuilding is the Action Committee for Eldorado. See aceeldo.org.

Some news.

Good:

I went on a danger-tree mission this morning. Only four trees were sketchy enough to merit felling.

Not great:

The Bastille collapse is worsening.
A few days ago:



Today:



Less than great:

Rattlesnake gulch is hosed. This is at the hairpin near the aqueduct, at the bottom of the big hill:
