Wild and Scenic
A study of portions of the Dolores River has been conducted to determine their suitability for inclusion in the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. The report is being reviewed by the Governor of Colorado and the heads of federal departments is scheduled to be transmitted to Congress. Both the federal study team and the state after completion of the study recommend that a 105-mile segment of the Dolores River be added to the National System.
Dunton fire
A fire seriously damaged the cabin of Peter Muckerman in Dunton last Sunday. Muckerman was visiting at a neighbor’s cabin some 300 yards away when he saw thick smoke billowing out from under the roof of the one story cabin. Intense smoke and heat from the flaming kitchen ceiling and wall drove firefighters back as they first attempted to enter the building.
