Ty's Take

Interior Secretary Haaland coming back through town, roasting chile firing up again in Arrey, and EBID sitting down to figure out next year's water numbers, all in the same week, tells you something about how we live here. The federal government's got its eye on what happens downstream from Elephant Butte because it matters to Colorado River compacts and states we'll never see. The chile roasters are back because September means harvest and tourists know a good thing when they smell it. And EBID's looking ahead because every year around here starts with one question: will there be enough water in that lake for what we're trying to grow and live on. These three stories don't seem connected till you remember they all touch the same river and the same ground.

Salida Daily Digest Tuesday, August 25, 2026

Ty's Take The Colorado River got some breathing room this week, which matters more to us than most people realize. Up here in the upper basin, every drop that stays in the system instead of getting diverted or depleted is money in the bank for agriculture, municipalities, and

Ty's Take S&T's Coterie has been doing the same thing every fall for longer than most of us can remember, and that consistency matters more than people think. For those who haven't crossed paths with the group, it's one of
