In this week’s podcast, Bob and Kevin discuss how climate change is affecting winters in Colorado, and also the dramatically dropping water level in Lake Powell, and how this affects outdoor recreation. The discussion then goes to Kevin’s recent hikes on the new trails in the Sweetwater Canyon in North Cheyenne Canon Park.
They also discuss a recent winter storm rescue in North Carolina and why they believe the person rescued was foolhardy, and put lives in danger.
And finally, this podcast and Bob’s column are up for Outdoor Media Awards, and they ask for listener support. This podcast sponsored by SpringsHomes.com
