Pictures of Alberta Park the proposed site for the luxury Village at Wolf Creek

I drove up to Wolf Creek Ski Area Saturday the 20th to see what the Honoring Wolf Creek art project was all about and though I'm certainly no artist I did wind up doing a little art of my own . . .

The rendezvous point for participants of the 

Honoring Wolf Creek art project.  

By the time I got there most artists were dispersed throughout the area with easels and 

other implements in hand.  

They did have some musicians and a drum circle, 

but I was antsy to go for a walk and a bit of mediating.

I figured since I have a fancy new phone that can 

take some decent pictures I should try to 

share the moment.  Here's my offering.

Celebrating Alberta Park and Honoring Wolf Creek

This afternoon I heard about plans for a big celebration up at the Wolf Creek Ski Area, (a short walking distance from the targeted Alberta Park), it'll happen on Saturday June 20th.  The spirit of the event is "Honor Wolf Creek" and what better way to honor this wonderland than to spend some time being in the middle of it.  

It also seems that it could be an excellent opportunity for people from all over the state, and beyond, to come together and make some new friends, while graphically showing the powers that be how many people are opposed to allowing the destruction of this natural resource, that is the Alberta Park watershed.  A keystone component of the Rio Grande river's source waters. 

If you believe the biological productive Alberta Park watershed is more than just another "externality" to be bulldozed by tunnel-visioned developers in pursuit of a 1980s pipe-dream, join the celebration!
