    Nothing much to see, just an aircraft carrier getting tested on ability to withstand explosive shocks so big they registered as a 3.9 magnitude earthquake! (Last time these tests were run was in '87).

    Agreed. I also said the same when the Keystone Pipeline protestors were all over the news. If you took the tents and other products made from O&G out of the picture, wouldn't have been much there but people in the cold and wet shivering and whining about how evil O&G are.

    I wish technology solved people issues. It seems to just reveal them.

    Just like all the people protesting oil rigs while sitting in plastic kayaks.

    Glenwood Canyon Drone Footage. I couldn't link direct to YouTube video but the address is below.

    Stunning video starting at a highway mudslide area (checkout the size of the front-end loader) and going up the 'draw' that caused the slide.

    Mother nature can sure be cantankerous.

    Just watched it again, how the hell to you control that kind of erosion? Fires over the last several years in the area helped cause this slough but now what?

    Walls, rock stabilization (that always works), dams, culverts and Erosion matting? It will not be a cheap fix!

    P.S. If this slide had damaged the rail system, the UP would have had it fixed, up and running this morning.

    I do think that abandoning the canyon, is an option. How close could we go above or beneath the canyon?

    Who was it that decided we should do an interstate, through a canyon?

    My first time through Glenwood Canyon, is one of my best memories. Gorgeous.
