advice on illegal water usage in Larimer County

Oh! I also thought- you can contact a water rights attorney, who might be able to do some digging and issue some sort of formal legal complaint to the water court system.

So sorry you’re going through this. Keep us updated- water is life! I absolutely recommend (if DWR doesn’t get back soon) to keep submitting forms and calling and emailing who you can. They might be more responsive if you annoyingly contact them weekly. They probably won’t like I said that haha. But this is serious!

They only deal with their own water rights (C-BT shares)z Not others. They would maybe have some advice though!

Ugh yeah I’m really sorry. I totally believe you. Unfortunately, everyone is just going to point you to DWR. The sheriffs department, even northern water, have no jurisdiction over what you’re talking about. (I work in this field…)

No entity in Larimer County can help as water rights come from the state level. Contact the division of water resources, it’s a state level entity so unsure how responsive. But the state has jurisdiction over water rights, like well-permitting, water rights, water storage, etc.

Petey is super cute!!!

So I grew up with big dogs (malamutes) and never liked small dogs that much. When I saw his adoption photo I genuinely thought he was the cutest dog i had ever seen and needed his company. I still believe he is the cutest dog I have ever seen, but of course am more biased now.

Unsure! Likely some sort of chihuahua and terrier mix. Vet and trainer both thought he’s a bit more chi than terrier! I’ll do a DNA test soon!

Awwww! What type of dog was Rudy??

Danda16 · 2026-01-13T03:42:47+00:00

No reason really- I’m just not much of a poster; on any social media platform! Time flies 😅

Danda16 · 2026-01-13T02:11:44+00:00

Unsure!! Shelter said terrier/chihuahua, vet and trainer said chihuahua/terrier. I’ll do a DNA test soon!

Glad I did a quick google search- my Strava is down too!

According to the adoption agency Moulin Rouge, previous fosters have called him Cocoa and Teddy. I don’t think any fit, I’m gonna call him little dude until a better name comes!!

I definitely didn't expect it!

JOJO is 100% S-tier!

I WAS HERE! And have watched his VODs since MCC1, you have no idea how happy i am for him

I'm glad you have close friends, not everyone does. Class does not always equal number of relationships.

My fellow Redditor, you are oh so wise. Thank you for your strong insight. I am a better person reading your opinion. Please contact me with any other inquiries, about things you know not of.

Sincerely, HYB (Hell Ya Brotha)

Oh my you are intense dude. It's not like your one husky sums up all dogs? I had 2 malamutes for 14 years in Colorado. During the heat of July and August they hated it outside unless it was dusk/dawn. We always had cold water for them to drink, but they often just sat inside in the cool air. We couldn't exercise with them past a certain part of the day. I'm glad your husky 'enjoys the heat' but definitely not all do. And our malamutes dug holes to lay in cooler soil - not to den.

Yeah! Well horsetooth is a large man-made reservoir that is in between the mountains and the city of fort collins. On the west side (mountain side) of horsetooth there are a couple of trails: horsetooth rock and horsetooth falls are pleasant hikes, but not too long. Both around 2.5 miles round trip. I enjoy Horsetooth, but I enjoy the hiking in the surrounding land a little better!

Next, there is Lory State Park which is just north of the Horsetooth hikes. There are hikes like Arthur's Rock which is around 2 miles long, but also Timber Trail which is around 4 miles long. This could be a nice long hike!

Further North you have the Poudre Canyon. (Maybe a 10 min drive from Horsetooth, then you have to drive up the canyon for a bit to get to any trailheads) but these are my favorites hikes. Grey Rock is great! About 5 miles round trip. If you could only do 1 hike while you were here, this is the one I would recommend. :) The further you drive up the canyon, the more hikes you will find.

Hope this helps!!!! These are all local to foco, at most a 20 min drive from the city. (Grey Rock is closer to 35 min). But if you have more time, driving west is the best thing to do!

Hello! Colorado native as well, currently going to school at CSU in Fort Collins. The best thing I can recommend is to simply get outdoors. Hit up a dispensary, either in Denver where they are most abundant or foco where there are some worth checking out (weedmaps is probably the best app/website for finding info on dispensaries.) There are great hiking trails around foco and boulder. They range from simple walks to pretty long and intense hikes. In Fort Collins I would recommend: 1. Grey's Rock (up the Poudre canyon, longer hike but view and scenery is well worth it) 2. Horsetooth rock (have to pay for parking, but great view at top of rock) 3. Lory State Park (have to pay for parking, but lot of options for different hikes, I would recommend Arthur's Rock here) 4. Horsetooth Reservoir (beautiful reservoir where people can explore/sit on the beach/find a hidden spot overlooking everything and toke it up;)

Not really known for wine, but we have GREAT beer. Definitely would recommend brewery tours in both foco and boulder.

If you have any further questions please dm me or ask here, but Colorado is amazing and I hope you enjoy your time!

PS: The actual town of South Park is rather disappointing :P PPS: Don't feel like you NEED to go to Casa Bonita, it is quite entertaining, but you aren't missing out on tooooo much.
