The Poudre pictures are still hard to look at; thanks for reminding us that the Poudre is still a beautiful river. I drove up to Gold Hill Sunday by way of Sunshine, been a while. So thankful Main street and the old Cemetery were saved and most of the homes but it's hard even now to go up the canyons like Four Mile and Sugar Loaf without tearing up. Thankful we've had rain and hope this won't be a fire year.
