Why not just some kind of bar that only allows vehicles of a certain height to go past or something.

um gov't ineptness at it's best
asking gov't workers to actually do something????? besides waste tax dollars, hire a consultant, or sit around and figure out how there job description doesn't apply to a task
you can't even get breck cops to go out and direct traffic on the shittiest days of the year because they don't want to
so now your asking the lazy cdot employee the local sheriff and the state patrol to mitigate traffic
good luck with that

Fastfred for Gov 2022.

East Vail an hour ago.

They are opening Indy pass and “metering” traffic. https://www.vaildaily.com/news/color...ering-traffic/

Musta heard fred was upset.

Sounds like Hanging Lake was saved

At least until the first rainstorm probably.

Edwards looking west at about 5. That’s awesome that HL and Bair Ranch were spared. Winds have shifted and it’s not as Smokey or camp smelly tonight.

Definitely feels like it's starting to calm down. Quieter on the weekdays this week and while Saturday was still very busy, today has been mellow around town, which usually seems to translate to mostly front rangers rather than out of state tourists.

Gotta be a large chunk of that related to the multiple forest fires and lack of semis on 70?

It's a lot quieter down here in Durango too, finally. First weekend since COVID lock-downs were lifted where you could go downtown and walk around without hundreds of Texas/Arizona/New Mexico plates clogging the streets and families on the sidewalks. Was talking about this with some friends about how stressful this summer season has been. The combination of covid stress, entitled tourists, crazy heat and how it just never seemed to slow down really got to folks in the service industry. I worked a serving gig for a month in between jobs and boy that was eye opening. This summer was very stressful for mountain communities.

I just hope the incoming economic downturn when restaurants can't seat people outside anymore with the changing season doesn't kill off lots of good eateries.

If it’s a good eatery that has great service and great food, it’ll survive.....the bad ones won’t.

Nah even this morning coming out of brush creek and seeing 0 cars at the Teocalli trailhead parking stop 9:30am was an assuring sign. Haha

Great food and service help, if it’s run shitty financially it’s as good as done.

Not so familiar with the restaurant industry are you?

Glenwood I70 Open

I made a Costco run thru the canyon today. Traffic wasn’t bad. Only two lanes for about half.

Still some smoldering hot spots on the south side. North of Grizzly there was still a large smoke plume. Some of the steep slopes above grizzly, are burned right down to the road. This is where there will be lots problems with slides and rockfall.

Came down from Frisco to Denver at 2pm today. Dead stopped traffic WB from tunnel to Georgetown. Lots of people thought they’d leave early and beat the Friday traffic and then became the traffic. Shitshow of campers and trailers.
