    Default Danger in the Forest

    Pretty good article (could use better editing "county police" etc). Old news to those of you up by the Peak to Peak but probably an eyeopener for a lot of flatlanders.

    Depressing read, but this is what you get with years of Democrat rule.

    If we want to get rid of the homeless camps full of criminals, we have to first get rid of the Democrats in Denver.

    More and more I am hearing Denver and the surrounding areas being mentioned in the same sentence as Portland and Seattle. GROSS!

    I don't understand why this is tolerated.

    Min security prison + work details (cleaning up messes like this) until a person is clean/sober and can demonstrate enough competence to be self-sustainable.

    All of the things this blue state forces on me, being a productive citizen, but this is cool.

    Sidenote - this is why I carry while hiking even land our family owns. "For the bears."

    I'm open carrying a full size sidearm from now on when I take the family into these national forests for a weekend hike. No more sub compact CCW pieces in slightly slower access carry holsters. And likely an AR in the truck for good measure.

    Yeah, it's pretty bad. We had two summer cabins ransacked on my road last winter. One is maybe 300 yards away from my house. The scumbags know they are summer cabins and nobody is around, so they think it's easy pickins. Never before in the 18 years I've been up here has one house been burgled that I know of. And we're pretty deep in the woods, not right off the highway at all.

    The Sheriff's Deputy relayed to me and my neighbor that burglaries are through the roof, mostly with summer cabins. He suggested we lock all doors (car and house), which we do anyway, and to set up trail cams to get pics of the bastards.

    Pisses me off.

    My wife and I stopped camping in the mountains many years ago, before we moved to CO, because of the bums that we would run across. Riding dirt bikes in the desert was good, we were too far out from civilization for the locals to bother us. The mountains were different, too close to population and easy to access and hide in.
