Camp Hale

[Tom]

Biden is coming next week to dedicate it as a National Monument. I am going to see if Ican get an invite. Gonna call Bennet’s office tomorrow. I have a special connection to it. Both my father and grandfather worked on its construction.

`neat that they worked on its construction. Good luck on getting an invite!

[Jackie]

Good luck Tom! That would be a great experience!

Called Bennet, Hickenlooper, and Polis’ offices this morning so we’ll see.

[Spieg]

Good luck, hope you get an invite.

I was there yesterday. https://imgur.com/a/gcrDzxi

I was surprised to see so many obviously well-used campsites now closed. There was a big sign going in that said they were closed "for your safety" as well as closure markers at most of the campsites. These were beautiful campsites that have obviously been well-used for several decades, so I can't imagine what the danger is. The guy I was with speculated that maybe they found old artillery shells or something dangerous, but I can't imagine you'd run into any just sitting in a campsite.

Many areas were closed due to asbestos contamination. There was a cleanup effort but I do not know if it was completed or not.

I was up there in September. Cool place.

[Tom]

Have not heard anything back from any of those I called. Since the ceremony is tomorrow I guess I don’t have an invite and will not be going.

[Jackie]

Sorry to hear that, Tom.
