INDEX — About $748,000 was awarded last week to help develop trails at Reiter Foothills, with at least some of the money slated to hire a warden for the area.
That’s in addition to $325,000 already provided by the Legislature to develop non-motorized trails in the area.
The Department of Natural Resources is seeking to develop 35 miles of trails on the 2,000 acres between Index and Gold Bar.

I was crusing the net a few minutes ago to see if there was anything new to report on the mudslide. I ran in to an interesting discussion that was turning into an argument.
Now, my wife and I have lived here only a bit over 5 years and we were outside visitors for 4-5 years before that (2-3 times a year for a few days at a time).
