1. Camping!

2. Stretch out and ride a stolen scooter where they belong: I-25.

3. Bring your recently rescued fur baby to a park off-leash and profusely reiterate to every parent that your dog knocks their child down that "he is harmless".

I used to use Gaia GPS extensively as they have a lot of overlays and it can be downloaded for offline use. However, the interface is not good, and they are constantly breaking things that seem to show up after you become "off grid". The final straw for me to delete the app and cancel my subscription was that the app was running 24/7 on my iPhone when it should not have been and was eating 20% of my battery daily without actually using it.

I have found the Forest Service MVUM to be extremely helpful in locating approximate locations where dispersed camping is allowed. Here is an example of a page on the Forest Service with these maps. In this case it is for the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests: https://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/arp/home/?cid=fsm91_058275

One thing about these maps is that the website assumes you know if you are looking for the "Sulphur Ranger District North" or the "Clear Creek Ranger Disctrict". Going in, it is very intimidating.

One tool that can make the maps more useful than just a generic PDF is the app called Avenza. They are happy to sell you all sorts of maps, but these MVUM maps are available for free. The benefit of the app is that it will use your GPS to show you where you are on the MVUM in real time.

Way back in the day I used to use an app called "Motion X GPS". This app seemed to really just be a demo of the Motion X companies capabilities and they eventually abandoned it. It was great for just being a generic GPS device, replicating the normal use cases of a handheld Garmin.

Another tool I use extensively is any mapping software/site that can show decent satellite imagery. I will look along a road marked in the MVUM as allowing camping for offshoots that can be parked on, and if the imagery is good, for a fire ring.

I want to use this community as the "general" community of this instance. There is already a much more popular Colorado community on lemmy.world, and it is unlikely that this will replace it or properly augment it in that same way.

Next, I wanted to create a community on this instance that is new and useful, not just a replication of something on other instances. The first thing that seems to not exist in its own right and makes sense on this instance is Colorado Camping and Hiking.

With all of the lemmy.world ddos attacks and the brief time when the .ml sites had trouble with their TLD status, I think it shows that a little bit of diversification is helpful.

Anyone else have an idea for a community that would make sense here?

In a quote from the article: "...the city of Denver, known for its culinary vibrancy and food enthusiasts"

Nothing says culinary vibrancy and food enthusiasts like one more burger chain outlet! Now our gourmet food selection finally includes a burger. The mighty burrito and pizza offerings finally have some competition.

Anyone know where I fill out the form to receive my new 4 bedroom 3 bathroom single family home in LoHi?

The new beer named “Suck my balls, I do what I want” is a collaboration between South Park writers and South Park brewery in Fairplay. The beer aims to educate employees that the pay structure they signed up for is not really up to them

Most city parks previously had a policy easily visible and posted indicated that 3.2 beer was the only allowed alcoholic beverage. I have recently found signs at Jefferson Park and the pirate ship park at Sloans lake indicating that hard alcohol, glass bottles and kegs are prohibited, but the language seems to specifically leave beer and wine (without glass) off the prohibition.

Does anyone have a reference for the generic city wide policy? There is no sign at my local park, and I want to know what the default setup is.

I’m a lowly USG-3P user with a couple 8 port POE switches and 4 APs running my controller off of a RPI4. However, a friend wanted to go all in, so I helped him to spend his money…

I hope to post some more pictures as it goes along. We made some progress that is not shown, but neither of us are experts, nor are we OCD.

One unexpected exciting feature is the built in ad blocker in the UDM-SE, which is quite effective.

I’m seeing a lot less communities on this instance when I look at “All”. Are we blocked from several instances, limiting what we can see?

Wanted to check on the trail status before trying to use it today. This popped to the top of DDG. There is also an interesting chart for the level of the cherry creek. https://waterdata.usgs.gov/monitoring-location/06713500/#parameterCode=00065&period=P7D

Bottom line is that today the trail is only flooded in one place, but muddy in several.

This progressive web app does not need a beta invite and should work on android. It is only being tested for iOS at the moment, but it is very slick so far.

The rapid pace of development on lemmy and lemmy apps is wild to be witnessing live.
