The Old Gorge Highway is still closed between Bridal Veil and Ainsworth due the aftermath of the Eagle Creek fire. It’s been a heartbreaking 9 months since the fire started. Parenthetically, a small part of the fire re-ignted earlier this...
There are once-in-a-lifetime events that define the way we see the world. Some of these are world changing. Some are regional. Some are good, and some are bad. September 2017 will be a watershed for the remainder of the...
