Ty's Take

May up here was one of those months that reminds you why we stay—warm enough to get the high country roads open, wet enough that the fire danger didn't spike like it's been doing the last few years, and the kind of weather that gets people thinking about summer plans instead of winter survival. Those commissioners meetings matter more this time of year than folks realize, too. Water rights, grazing permits, road maintenance before the heavy tourist season kicks in—that's the work that keeps a county like ours running when the ski lifts shut down and the season shifts. Pay attention to what's getting discussed on those agendas. It's the difference between a summer that runs smooth and one that leaves folks frustrated.
