Beating the Heat Last Weekend


Temperatures remained high over the weekend, reaching at least 105 degrees in Rapid. However, hanging about in the shade of various rocks behind Sylvan Lake was pleasant, with temperatures perhaps in the high 80's to low 90's.

Pictured above are friends of Denise who had just completed a morning's worth of climbing before the sun drove them away (to Hill City to have Bomb Pops),

OR

They are strangers who happened to be wandering about and agreed to have their picture taken so Denise could make the HIA audience think she knows people who do fun things.

What do YOU think? Should we have a poll?

Oh yeah, in other news, that same day there was a really hot fire out Nemo by Steamboat Rock that was getting ready to take out the Rolling Hills subdivision when
a 6 million dollar rain knocked it down.

Have a poll about what exactly?

What, exactly, is a "6 million dollar rain"? I've experienced some bad ass rains in the Hills. What merits bionic rain?

Peeps, make sense. That's all I ask.

that is asking an awful lot...i'm assuming a 6 million dollar rain would be what they spent seeding clouds to makeit rain? i think those girls were strangers, but now they are friends!

6 million dollars was just a figure, not necessarily based on reality, that was being bandied about as money saved on firefighting. I might of made up the 6 part.

Oh! A metaphor anchored to the funds spent on wildfires. I like it, I like it.

I think they WERE friends of yours, until they saw that you posted this pic of them for international consumption.

I confess, the 2 hiding their faces are the 2 that know me best.
