+John  : (Today, 05:57 PM) Quote from waitress at breakfast.."I was worried when the sirens went off but it was just a fluke. I guess you never know with this fault line and all." I can't even find the words......
Aaron  : (Today, 03:14 PM) No business will lose money if this site goes down. Only the longing by many for their hourly RMNP fix is suffered. Trusting the cloud to store your documents or to store customer data, as well as critical daily/hourly operational tasks to the cloud is a completely different beast.
Qbert  : (Today, 01:41 PM) Doesn't this website live in the cloud? lol
Aaron  : (Today, 09:40 AM) HA! Now I get to rub it in to all the salesforce fanboys at work that salesforce is down....this is what you get for living in the cloud....suckas!
+Melanie  : (Today, 09:26 AM) Don't worry, be happy John! Miracles can happen!
+John  : (Today, 09:22 AM) Are you trying to get people to vote for you?
DeeCeeM  : (Today, 09:05 AM) I tried to take my spring flowers picture this morning, but the neighbor's cat kept rubbing up against my hand and chewing my camera strap. I'm not sure how well any of them turned out.
+ScottO  : (Today, 08:22 AM) Can't take a picture of it, but just had one sign of spring in Minnesota.... thunder. It's foggy, overcast, and raining here today.
jflo  : (Today, 02:28 AM) Ha. ha. I bet you amuse yourself quite a bit.
+John  : (Yesterday, 11:16 PM) Police arrested two kids yesterday, ones was drinking battery acid, and the other was eating fireworks. They charged one and let the other off.

Over the next five months, weather conditions permitting, fixed wing and helicopter flights will occur over Rocky Mountain National Park.  These flights will assist with the survey procedures to estimate elk populations in the park.  Park staff anticipate no more than three days of flights per month.  The flights will not occur on holidays.

Both a fixed wing aircraft and a helicopter, flying at different altitudes, will be used.  The main purpose of the paired flights will be to enhance the monitoring of the number and distribution of the elk population in
Rocky Mountain National Park.  This is a joint study with the National Park Service and United States Geological Survey (USGS).

For more information about Rocky Mountain National Park please call (970) 586-1206.

What a waste of money, BigAl, Smudge, Igloo Ed and Erik cover enough area they could save thousands by having them count instead.

Curious....I haven't heard a word about it for this season. Hopefully, it won't be an issue for awhile.
