To the Editor,
Considering the financial and social importance of natural scenery, wildlife, and outdoor activities to the upper Arkansas Valley, it is hard to believe that the Christo debacle has not been firmly and officially denied!

Wolves and wayward words
Howdy Editors,
I have a small bone to pick with Bryce Andrews concerning his wolves and cattle essay on page 2 of the October issue. He sets the stage for the story as “a ranch” but the main topic occurred on public land not a ranch. This is land that is temporarily rented by the rancher from all of us.

Your guess of 150 microbreweries in Colorado [“The New Colorado Spirit” in the April edition] is about 60 too high!
Where’s the Front Range?

Hi Ed,
This is sort of a homeland question, did you move to Salida from the Front Range, as you state on page 45, or was it really the Great Plains?
I suspect you grew up on the Great Plains and that you, like most of Colorado’s population, used “Front Range”, even if incorrect, because it sounds better than Great Plains.

Hi,
While reading “There is Much to be Done, But Not by Me” in the Colorado Central Magazine for Nov.’02, I noticed a 200+ mile mistake!

Editors:
Actually, I think the title of Gretchen Biggs’ article should have been “Arson Isn’t All That Wrong On Vail Mountain” [December, 1998]. We are, after all, fighting Vail Associates and the US Forest Service, two of the most influential corporations in Colorado. In the case of the Forest Service we get to pay them to do something we don’t want them to do and have no real voice in the matter.
