Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper has ordered flags be lowered to half-staff statewide on all public buildings from sunrise until sunset on Saturday, June 11, 2016 in honor of U.S. Marine Corps Capt. Jeff Kuss, a native of Durango, Colorado.
Saturday, June 11th, the Bent’s Fort Chapter of the Santa Fe Trail Association will tour several historic sites in Southeast Colorado. The tour will start at the Star School at 9:00 AM. The Star School is located about 3 miles west of Colorado Beef (junction of Hwys 50 and 287) or 10 miles east of Hasty. Watch out for traffic if you are coming from the west. West bound traffic is hard to see at the school. After learning about the history and reconstruction of the school we will travel to Bent’s New Fort.

Fishing is fair to good for smaller 10 – 12 inch walleye and saugeye, but larger fish are being caught. Fishing is also fair for small 6 – 8 inch crappie with a few larger fish also being caught. Fishing is also fair for wiper and white bass of various sizes. A few fish are being caught from shore, but mostly channel catfish.
