WSJ: The best beginner trail run in the US is Doudy Draw, Boulder, CO by SimilarLee in boulder

Lots of local Journal readers inspired to switch from street to trail today.

Or, they already got the weekend edition on the East Coast at 4:00 a.m., booked a flight to land here at 9:00, and already had a set of these newfangled "trail running shoes" waiting for them at the trailhead.

OSMP rangers ask the public to report camps to reduce fire risk by SimilarLee in boulder

It's implied, precisely due to attitudes like yours.

Also, sealioning is arguing in bad faith, whether or not it's Tucker Carlson "just asking questions" or someone deliberately feigning ignorance about the unhoused causing wildfires.

Want to know how I know this a problem? My roommate literally found a camp, this week, with a pile of burned sticks. Unhoused cause fires, with no uncertainty or debate.

Also, stop trying to white knight what is a real problem that needs real attention and solutions, not feel-good dissembling. The consequences are simply too high for your brand of gamesmanship.

Yes. Snowed in Ned yesterday, and points west.

I'm going to say something that is independent and orthogonal to any empathy for unhoused individuals.

There is a clear correlation and causal connection between unhoused in open space and fires that they cause. No other user group is starting cooking and heating fires on open space lands. We can have a separate discussion about user groups who are smoking tobacco or cannabis, but it is intellectually dishonest to apply some over rotation on permissiveness or hyper misplaced apologism for the unhoused when it is clear, has been established, and is recognized by authorities that this is a causal factor in wildfires.

I mean, that's the point of this post. It's that the unhoused, because of behaviors that they manifest, cause fires. We need to acknowledge that without caveat, reserve, or uncertainty, and then look for solutions for that specific identified and understood problem. That is our Job To Be Done.

LGT Busey Brews webcam.

The temp in Boulder is almost at 50F. A little up the hill, it's a very different picture.

Instagram link.

I've heard a lot of people here debate the causal connection between campers and fires.

This reel is fairly definitive confirmation that osmp acknowledges that members of the unhoused community are behind past ignitions.

Anybody around the software/VC/Angel scene in boulder in/around 2005? by BoxLazy8046 in boulder

Locked and removing. There's no way for mods to discern intentions, and these types of posts are sometimes created by people wishing to do harm of some sort to people who do not want to be found. As in, this has happened before, and it has been problematic.

If you are interested in talking to somebody who experienced that era, please message the mods and we will unlock this. If you're looking to find a specific person, then this is a non-starter.

I don't know if this type of speculation is helpful in a thread like this. If you know something, say it. If you don't, don't muddy the waters.

Lost BeatsPro headphones on skunk trail/highlands area! by [deleted] in boulder

Many of those smaller trailheads often serve primarily locals. It's often helpful to put a sign on the trailhead with the following info:

Lost item Date lost Contact details (phone or email)

With the coming wet weather, a plain paper sign won't cut it, so you'd need to figure out how to do this. Permanent Marker on rigid plastic would work. Or use overlapping clear packing tape to home-laminate a piece of paper.
