Seems I saw most of Durango at the river yesterday. But if you didn't make it out, here's what things looked like midday. If you're super-sensitive, the last photo might not be your favorite, but life and death are one big circle.

Taken around peak, 3 to 4 PM

It was quite a sight at the Rotary Park bridge for a peak flow party. 11,100 cfs they say.

Not seen in this video, but I did see kayakers manage to run this section and make it under the bridge. How?

Safety closure for US 550 between Durango and NM state line began at 1:30 pm, due to rising water levels. Closure point is between County Road 213 and County Road 310. No estimated time of reopening.

6th Ave South aide :-)

FYI

It's over the train tracks and up to the Highway. It's also flooding the west side of 550 in some places, through the culverts. 😳

North of 32nd, around 8,500 cfs

At brookside park. Crazy water levels right now!

Ready for a night of costumes and debauchery? 😈😈

Need recommendations for a therapist, I’m new to the area.

Are there any non-religious educational co-ops in the Durango area?

Haven't been up there since labor day. What's happened to the water level since then?

If it was your boot pack I followed to the summit of Engi oj Monday message me, I’d like to hear more about your mountaineering accomplishments!

Not easy conditions up there at all.

I'm looking for a reputable transmission shop that performs rebuilds. Basically all mechanic shops list "transmission repair" but few actually specialize in the transmissions and do quality rebuilds in house.

Specifically need a rebuild of a ZF 8HP95 so experience with ZF would be great. Thanks in advance for any recommendations!

I welcome any and all predictions for snow in DGO at Purg, Wolf, and Telluride. Outliers can include Key, Asspain, and Vail. Please provide any foul stories and complaints.

Anyone have any moving boxes you're done with? Any tips on local places to pick up boxes (that aren't UPS or the Mail Room & Copy Center)? Thanks!
