This is Evergreen

Hiwan Hills had a quite successful slash collection this weekend.  I don’t know exactly how much was collected, but it was at least several roll off dumpsters.  Great job to the residents there for helping to keep the land clear. It’s a great step to help prevent wildfires in the area. JeffCo is sponsoring more [...]

Fortunately, the #LowerNorthForkFire is not anywhere near Evergreen.  My estimate is that it’s about 25-30 miles away, but, that’s just a guess.  The evacuation zone is about 15-20 miles away, according to the Jeffco Sheriff’s map from today.  The fire is about 4000 acres so far. Our hearts and thoughts go out to everyone effected [...]

Here’s a good article form the Denver Post about the Colorado River, particularly the upper part. “I’ve just always enjoyed guiding over here. And fishing it, for that matter,” said Dye, a career guide with The Blue Quill Angler in Evergreen (303-674-4700). “This river is so diverse. But like all rivers, it has its good [...]

We went for a walk the other day and noticed several new things.  First, the finished trail and fences on the south side.  They look really good and I’m sure after a while when the grass grows it’ll be great!  Hopefully, the fence will last and people won’t break it down.  In case you were [...]

I went for a walk around the lake last night and took a few pictures.  It was a really nice walk; the weather was perfect, the lake was smooth and there were lots of people enjoying the evening. The park and rec district is doing some nice work on the trail around the lake.  Smoothing [...]

We’ve had EDS Waste Solutions for a long time, probably about 8 years.  But we spent a lot of time collecting all of our recycling in the basement and hauling it to the King Soopers recycling center.  We really wanted Curb-Side recycling, which EDS offers, but for an additional cost, and you need to use [...]

Here are a few pictures from the Soda Creek Fire last week.  Some of the smoke and some of the burn area after the fire on Highway 103.  Fortunately, it didn’t get very big and our fabulous firefighters knocked it down right away!

Now that the ice has completely melted and we’ve had some great warm weather, some wind, a few fires, another few inches of snow, then some more wind and now some real spring weather, I thought I’d post some photos of some interesting ice. There were at times some large cracks showing and there was [...]
