On Tuesday, Sept. 22, two friends took me on a trip over Boreas Pass. It was a delight.

This has been one of my favorite trips for many years. It is nearby, covers some of the best mountain area and has great distant views of aspen. My late husband, Bill, and I used to go south on U.S. 285 to Como, then northwest over the pass to Breckenredige, have lunch there and then make a fast trip home over routes 9 and 70.

This time we reversed this trip, going out on I-70, then south to Breckenridge, then going over the pass from west to east, then back home on U.S. 285.

Seems like every golf tournament they play, the Evergreen boys golfers are looking up at Valor Christian.

The 4A Jeffco rivals play five league tournaments plus the regional prior to state every season, and almost every year Valor — which has won four of the last five state titles — reigns.

But Evergreen coach Mike Kuzava and his Cougars aren’t feeling sorry for the status quo.

Playing against a team such as Weld Central, one that has a first-year head coach in James Canaday and hasn’t had a winning season since 2009, can be tricky, especially for a squad like Evergreen.

While the Cougars have had their fair share of success over the years, the Rebels easily could’ve been a trap game if Evergreen wasn’t careful.

The Mount Evans State Wildlife Area is open to hunters and closed to all other recreational users through the end of October.

Peter Jacobson, a nearby resident, is one recreational user who is unhappy about the seasonal closure. Jacobson says not much public notice was given before the popular area 10 miles west of Evergreen was closed the day after Labor Day. Signs were posted saying it will be closed until November.
