Good to hear from you Rake! Won't be long until you're back at the hut. Snow's in the mountains already here in Alaska, so Colorado skiing time can't be too far behind.
That was the Gold King... You took the left fork out of Silverton instead of the right!
I don't know why the heck Guyer doesn't force Hennis to take that sign down. Probably because of legal fee's. The problem is - it associates the company with a mine and a mine owner it no longer has an association with.
The guys you saw up there were probably government specialists and contractors trying to figure out what they are going to do about the toxic crud coming out of Hennis's mine.
That's too bad that you were here and went to the wrong place. As Ficose said, you took a left instead of a right. You went to Gladstone instead of Howardsville.
