Highway 6 fatality
Friends and family of 23-year-old Derrik Romero-Evans celebrated his life during a memorial in Montrose on Aug. 23. The young man was killed after being struck by a vehicle while working with a road crew on Highway 6 near Glenwood Springs on Aug. 11, according to a Sept. 11 article in the Post Independent. His mother, Stephanie Wilken, is calling for tougher distracted driving laws, as the suspect in the case, Madison Burke (39), faces a class one misdemeanor for alleged careless driving in Garfield County. The case is still pending and set for a court appearance on Oct. 16.

Fire restrictions lifted
Shortly after we went to press last week, fire restrictions were lifted for Garfield and Pitkin counties thanks to abundant autumnal rainfall.
Grizzly Reservoir fish kill
“About 200 fish were found dead on Aug. 18 on the banks of Grizzly Reservoir,” reported Aspen Public Radio. Colorado Parks and Wildlife had stocked the reservoir with rainbow trout one week prior. A similar mortality event occurred in 2021. Climate change is blamed, increasing the concentration of naturally occurring metals, like copper, in bodies of water with less snowpack and precipitation to dilute them.
Garfield County access
The Bureau of Land Management’s Grand Junction Field Office signed a decision declaring roughly 14 miles of unpaved road in the vicinity of Garfield County Road 200 as open to all modes of travel. The roads had previously been considered open to administrative use only. They pass through private property and allow access to more than 50,000 acres of public lands. This decision follows a nine-year court battle between Garfield County and High Lonesome Ranch. Four-wheel drive is recommended and there will be no winter maintenance in these areas.
Thomas Hagan Bailey
Tom Bailey, local landholder and founder of Janus Capital, passed away at his Iron Rose Ranch home on Aug. 31 at the age of 88. The Sopris Sun is anticipating an obituary to publish in next week’s paper. Notably, Bailey transferred his land into a 1,000-year, fully-endowed trust to protect its future.
Wildfire detection feed
Aspen Fire and the Wildfire Collaborative Roaring Fork Valley have become the first organizations in Colorado to provide the public with access to live wildfire detection camera feeds enhanced using artificial intelligence technology. The public can now monitor conditions in real time across the Valley at www.rfvwildfire.org and www.aspenfire.com
3 Mile milestone
The 3 Mile Mobile Home Park resident ownership project reached a milestone on Sept. 11, breaking ground on infrastructural improvements — including floodplain mitigation, creek bank stabilization and the replacement of a vehicle bridge — for a total estimated cost of $2.5 million. The improvements are intended to defer long-term capital costs and make the property attractive for financing, as the interim nonprofit landlord, Roaring Fork Community Development Corporation, prepares to eventually sell the 20-unit property to residents. Construction is anticipated to continue through May of 2026.
