Fire on the mountain
You may have noticed that Animas City Mountain is on fire. Earlier this week, a prescribed burn was ignited north of town as part of a larger effort to build a buffer around Durango to prevent a catastrophic wildlife entering city limits (which you can read about more in our previous coverage at https://bit.ly/42MJQ0T).
The prescribed burn is expected to cease Thursday and resume Friday. In the meantime, we’ll leave you with this from the Durango Police Department:
“The Durango Police Department has received several reports of individuals not following the mandatory public land closures for the prescribed burn. The closure applies to all public use to provide public safety during the prescribed burn. All trails, trailheads and parking lots at Animas City Mountain, Dalla Mountain Park, Tanque Verde and X-Rock are closed to public access during the prescribed fire dates from May 8-15.”

Move over PBR – there is another new-old trendy beer on the scene. In case you don’t have an internet connection, “splitting the G” – an online trend where drinkers attempt to gulp their Guinness down to where the line between the stout and the foam hits the middle of the branded “G” on the glass – is all the rage. Everyone from the Jonas Brothers and actor Jason Momoa to pro-wrestler John Cena is doing it, according to a recent story in the New York Times.
