Month: May 2017

(May 11, 2017) -- Mayor Gee Williams assured residents this week that in spite of rumors to the contrary the construction of a campground just outside town was not a “done deal.”

(May 11, 2017) -- The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has signed the official decision order to upgrade the Oh Be Joyful campground area up the Slate River Valley, north of Crested Butte. That upgrade will come at the cost of reducing the number of campsites in the area.

(May 11, 2017) -- It’s a pretty drive, cottonwoods line the river and tall cliffs line the valley. There are several BLM campgrounds along the water here (no hookups) and Katina discovers they cost $15 a night. Not horrible for being this close to town.

(May 11, 2017) -- We’ve all heard of Class A, B and C recreational vehicles. But there’s also a Class B Plus. It’s a made-up class, technically more of a C than a B, and usually a bit wider (at seven foot, 10 inches) and longer (it’s 25 feet or so) than a B.
