Strainer in Poudre Park Update (just above the Bridge to Nowhere):

If you all remember the Strainer update posted (gratis Krista E) from a couple days ago- we now have a boat stuck on it. All people involved with that boat had safely made it to shore and the boat will most likely be there until tonight or later.

So, if you’re planning on floating Poudre Park, be aware of a boat stuck in the middle of the run. The Bridge to Nowhere is the bridge just above Columbine Lodge. Pic of Strainer below:

Pine View holding steady. Was just up on Cameron for a car fire yesterday, and there’s not a whole heck of a lot of snow left up there. A bit on the peaks, of course. Currently 51˚F, sunny and calm.
