U.S. Sen. John Hickenlooper listens to KLJ Engineering Public Works Regional Director Jason Reimer explain the massive boulders and debris that came down Cutler Creek from the Gold Mountain Fire’s burn scar on July 29. Hickenlooper toured the area along Blue Tip Drive in Ponderosa Village on Friday, where he saw the damage and spoke with the Foster family, which owns one of three homes that have been deemed unsafe to live in after flood damage. He praised Eric Foster for building a levy to protect homes, using a backhoe he rented himself. Photo by Erin McIntyre | Ouray County Plaindealer
