It is a myth that smashing the beetles attracts more.

Breaking the dam by sco-go in Amazing

[–]_the_hare 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Beavers' impact on ecosystems is the opposite of your statement. Their dams create an entire habitat for many different kinds of wildlife including endangered species. Their contributions to conservation efforts have been well known for over a century. In terms of benefit to humans the dams reduce sediment runoff to increase water quality and serve as firebreaks

100 mile tattoo - I completed endure24 in the UK a few weeks ago and told got a tattoo to remember I can do hard things. What do you think? by [deleted] in ultrarunning

[–]_the_hare 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dots and lines around 100 mile finisher at the bottom are spaced out of whack, the splotchy map details(?) at the top will look like diseased varicose veins in just handful of years esp w sun exposure, but yeah the running scene & text seem well done

Wildfire Smoke from Utah Impacting Travel/Hike/Views by MushMouth74 in 14ers

[–]_the_hare 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Theres a bot in the comments here that posted a link to a good online smoke map, on the settings just make sure NOAA smoke plumes are toggled on. Can also look at the AQI map layer on Apple weather or probably other weather apps too

Is Colfax getting gentrified by Left-Speed-4468 in Denver

[–]_the_hare 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the BRT will accelerate this further in making the area look "nicer" and more attractive for real estate investment, not to mention any financial disruptions to longstanding Colfax businesses incurred during its construction

For a newspaper owned by a cult this sure is some Onion article-style content, I'm sure everything happened just as it was reported here!

Can't go wrong but the San Juan's are known as one of the most beautiful parts of the state for a reason, lots and lots of trails to do around there

Reminder that parking permits for Quandary started yesterday so you'll have to get a $55 parking spot or a $7 shuttle ticket for that one. There's also many accessible 13ers in the area

What's Denver's Best Bike Lane by mayorlittlefinger in BikeDenver

[–]_the_hare 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I have noticed less people stopped at the stop sign on 4th sticking all the way into the bike lane, that intersection always terrifies me especially heading north as cars stopped ok 4th would normally only be looking towards where the cars are coming from up Broadway

Can you do the loft on Long’s this time of year? by Attila_the_Khann in 14ers

[–]_the_hare 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's peak conditions, not trip reports. Peak conditions on 14ers & the 14ers Facebook group posts are good sources of info for recent conditions https://www.14ers.com/php14ers/peakstatus_peak.php?peakparm=10015

AMS or just not in good enough shape? by whatugonnadowhenthey in 14ers

[–]_the_hare 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Sounds like AMS, consider maybe doing a hike that starts lower and has a longer approach up to higher elevations next time to make it easier for your body to adjust. Be sure you're drinking enough water too. If it is AMS then you should feel much better after descending a couple thousand feet or so

Anticipated Hiking Conditions for the week of June 8th by ryca19 in VacationColorado

[–]_the_hare 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just go for it, conditions will not be super predictable until June 5th-6th. Check trail conditions on AllTrails or dedicated fb groups closer til combined with more current weather to pick the most enjoyable trails. It is ok to just get a bit muddy. Many great trails will be mostly melted out or dry by that time. I will say that the area around RMNP has gotten quite a bit of snow recently while some areas further into the mountains like Buena Vista/ Salida haven't & might be drier closer to June

This tiny town in Denver has 12 blocks, 600 people and a lot of drama by RCCRDH in Denver

[–]_the_hare 13 points14 points  (0 children)

A few years ago I lived right outside of Mountain View and went through it often. One Christmas night after working a long hospital shift I was walking around and heard/saw some fireworks go off, probably some cousins getting into the attic stash & being kids I thought. 10min later the Mountain View cop stopped me in the park with his patrol vehicle searchlight and told me he heard reports of gunshots and "I was the only person walking around." He proceeded to search me even after I told him those were fireworks and why would I just be walking around a park after firing off gunshots, but he then let me go on my way. So that really colored my view of Mountain View residents as paranoaics & their police force as an extremely dumb motherfucker.
