Devastation in Nepal
While you're planning your week, take a moment to consider other needs. Up the road from us, people in Ouray continue to deal with the aftermath of the Gold Mountain Fire and the subsequent flooding. In Nepal, the situation is even more dire, as the local Western Colorado Friends of the Himalayas shares. As detailed here, the group is attempting to generate donations for flood-stricken Nepal. You can mail them a check at Western Colorado Friends of the Himalayas, P.O. Box 2022, Montrose, CO 81402. Learn more at himalayanfriends.com.
