A flight of stairs, fabricated in-house and secured to the Mountain, allows for a different vantage point of the Carvers working in this area. When this photo was taken, they were working on a drill hole which will be used to thread a cable saw wire through and perform another cut.

You knew there was a shark out there! You knew it was dangerous! But you let people go swimming anyway? 🦈
Chief Brody wants you to know Jaws is not swimming in any of the 2,600 miles of BLM-managed perennial streams and rivers, however they do contain their own hidden dangers. High water season means cold water season, and hypothermia or shock upon entering freezing cold water can change how you react if you fall out of a boat.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife has reported 16 water-related deaths across the state so far this year. Please always wear a life jacket and carry appropriate safety and rescue gear with you. Remember to and always boat sober. You can learn more about boating safely here: https://cpw.state.co.us/learn/Pages/BoatingSafety.aspx

This Justh & Hunter 866.19 Ounce Gold Ingot, which originated in the gold fields of California, was salvaged from the wreckage of the S.S. Central America. It sold at auction in January of 2022 for $2,160,000. To put in perspective the contemporary value of this ingot, consider that in 1857, in New York City, the average pay for a carpenter was $1.79 per day. The 19th century work week was six days, so our average carpenter made $10.74 per week. At the stated value on this ingot of $15,971.93, this single ingot could pay the weekly wages of 1,487 carpenters.
