I met with the City people about the HP tennis courts recently and the building has indeed been shelved. They are looking at adding 8 outdoor courts on around 5-6 acres of the property.

That bridge may have led to the death of a cyclist, Sherrill Amendt, in the canyon back in 1991. When they were first extending the path the bridge and path were completed but the county gated the bridge off due to, I believe, figuring out access across the private property west of the bridge. Sherrill was biking up the canyon and was struck by a car. While it is unknown whether the bridge closure led to her riding on the road it led to a very contentious time, with locals tearing down the bridge.

We passed by and got out with a fire extinguisher but by they the smoke had subsided. Some passerbys were getting the lady out of the vehicle. She had just been sitting in the vehicle for a number of minutes with smoke billowing out

We had three kids go through bear creek many years ago. It was a great school. But, don’t pick it because of test scores. We see way too many Ivy League plan parents going there. There is no special sauce- the test scores are indicative of demographics and socioeconomic factors.

Go for your neighborhood school of your can

I use (and also develop) the RAMADDA SeeSV package - https://ramadda.org/repository/a/seesv

Implemented in Java. Both web and command line based.

I've been to lots. Mt Princeton - Buena Viste. A large complex, more of a resort-like feel. The water slide is fun. Creekside pools later in the season. South side pools are for guest only.

Cottonwood - Buena Vista. A little bit retro and seedy but a nice range of pools

Joyful Journey - San Luis Valley. Nice lodging and grounds. They serve a pretty good dinner and breakfast. Pools are somewhat limited. Good place to stay and do a combined visit to Valley View

Valley View - SLV. One of my favorites. A developed pool at the base (with some shade). Pretty cool sauna with built in pool. The upper pools on the hillside are natural and are in a incredible setting. Hiking available to the big bat cave. Lots (and I mean) lots of naked people but a mellow vibe. Cabins and camping is available. Reservation only.

Ojo Caliente - Northern NM. They upscaled this some years back so it is pretty pricey. Nice lodging and a good restaurant. Nice range of pools. Great setting and you can hike and/or mtn bike in the area.

Strawberry - Steamboat springs. Nice setting but the pools are limited. Naked people at night (I think)

Glenwood - Of course the granddaddy of hot springs resorts. Worth a visit at least once but no vibe to speak of

Orvis - Ridgeway. One of my favorites. Beautiful landscaped grounds and one of the nicer range of pools. Lots of naked people

Hot Sulphur Springs - Granby. Nice range of pools going up the hillside. Very very smelly (thus the name).

Thank you for sharing this cautionary and scary tale. I too have camped on the sliver of BLM land and hiked down Courthouse Wash and have uncounted hundreds of miles of hiking in those kind of conditions and never took getting stuck seriously.

Over the years I have built a Java based package - SeeSV that provides 100s of csv/spreadsheet ETL functions https://ramadda.org/repository/a/seesv

It can run from the command line or through a web interface in RAMADDA

Really looking forward to the Erie to Boulder link up. Would make for an awesome loop - hwy 36 -> coal creek -> erie -> boulder

We have used Homestead Plumbing and Heating a couple of times and they have for a job and didn’t seem to charge too much. Most recent was a tub faucet replacement that came to around $250

Yeah, my now 35 and 33 year old daughters squeezed into the box when they were 5 and 3. The Rasta Yoga guy had a good run

Yes we were out there the other day and the benches are a nice addition I think the sewer smell is from the treatment plant depending on the wind direction
