Field trip into the backyard ... Hot as it is — and it is insanely hot out there! — it's just too beautiful not to get outside. Even if the kids have to be pried away from the breeze of the swamp cooler ... This past weekend, I trekked my trio of kids up to Silver Jack Reservoir in the Uncompahgre National Forest. If you've yet to make the trip there, be careful — the sky-mountains-water trifecta is enough to drop your jaw and blow your mind! But, it is hot ... so, if you're looking to kick up your heels and cool down in the shade by the breeze of your swamp cooler, maybe take some time and thumb through the pages of the Montrose Daily Press (yes, you can still "thumb through" an e-edition, though I suppose most people use a finger). This week, you'll find stories about the city of Montrose's plans to rollback its Covid-related emergency order, the exit of DMEA's board president and the marriage of solar power and agriculture, plus a lot more!
