The Lost & Found Christmas Tree
Central Colorado lost&found, Marble. Did you loose your shades up in Marble over the past week? At first we thought someone had started an on-mountain shrine or at least a Christmas tree, but it’s just someone’s glasses hung out in case they pass by again. If they’re yours, last time we looked they were still there. About 300 vert up the skin track.

Lost sunglasses.
Oh, and after our encounter with the Christmas tree, the following event occurred.

Louie Dawson, Marble, Colorado. Coombacks.
