Sure, let's go with that. I say stupid shit on here sometimes, no need to get into specifics about my place of employment. I'll be living a little ways up the Crystal though.Quote:

There really is quite a bit of good news. One, our community is pretty resilient and helpful so we are pretty well suited to handle this. Two, lose of life is minimal and by a few accounts Lyle and Marilyn chose to go down with the ship. Three, the Town of Grand Lake survived and, at least from what I saw, the forest and such looks to be in pretty good condition. Point being, there is reason to rebuild and reason to come visit. It is not as if it looks carpet bombed never to return.
The bad is that there is a tremendous amount of destruction. I've only been in a fraction of the fire area but there are a lot of burned houses. From speaking to a couple of lineman, the grid is fucked. It sounds like it may be a while before people get back into certain neighborhoods.
The addresses up that way are horrible and there are many places with spotty cell service. You might be looking for a house and you can't even find the driveway. It sounds like the building department with some help from the state is trying to inventory everything with the GIS data.
Here are a few requests. Even if is a second home and you didn't actually evacuate, fill out the evac for. The Sheriff/Government want to try to contact every homeowner but there database doesn't have phone numbers. Please understand that the immediate need is to get evacuee's back into there primary residences. If this is not you, please consider holding off a bit. Also, if you have an AirBnB consider putting that into the long term rental pool.
Thank you for sharing Foggy, as well as your work supporting your community. In time, I look forward to getting back up there.

Who was asking about the Roadhouse? It made it! Sounds like that have been open. That's how you know thinks are trending in the right direction in Grand Lake. JRs and the Sagebrush are open! I'm more of a Waconda or Sloopy's guy so we'll have a pour one out for Sloopy's.
Hehe - I mentioned it a few pages back. King crab & prime rib for the win!
Thankfully it sounds like many bullets were dodged. The thing raged through neighborhoods and right at Grand Lake, where firefighters must have put up a good fight to save it, then jumped the divide and headed toward Estes, only to be stopped by lucky timing with the snow and fire fighting at the highway only a mile or two from town.
Is this the form?Quote:

I believe this is a better one https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...oUPHA/viewform
It is easier said that done to match a property address to the person that may be living in it....shitty addresses, units sharing addresses, trust ownerships, renters etc. There are some neighborhoods that never lost power, gas, water on sanitation. Sounds like these are getting let back in first.
I'm not sure how that perimeter is gonna be secured. Yesterday evening they just opened 34 without limitation and stationed LEOs at all the west side closures. This will get harder to do as you move into the neighborhoods.
Thanks. Passed it on to some friends.Quote:
