Enterprise Battle Group

Those were the days

An angry Texas couple stormed into the Eagle Regional Information Center and reported a group of naked rafters had taken their towels and watermelon off a picnic table. The rafters were actually members of a French rugby team who thought nothing of stripping down and drying off when they finished a commercial tour. They mistakenly thought the towels and the fruit belonged to the rafting company. “It looked like a nudist colony out there,” noted info center manager Bob Shelton. James Ogilvey of the Denver Water Board attended a meeting of the Vail Town Council to present a plan for a proposed $10 million, 10-year transmountain diversion project that would divert 70 percent of the area's peak runoff into Lake Dillon. In response, local Trout Unlimited chairman Roger Brown presented an opposition petition signed by 375 local residents. The shootings began when Hoover stopped to offer assistance to a motorist east of Kremmling and noted an unusual amount of ammunition in the car. Van Pelt and Short were called to the area and they were shot down when they began a search of the car. Spooner then fled the area on the Trough Road, where Eagle County Sheriff Hank Knuth and Clark had been called to set up a road block. A gun battle ensued and Clark was fatally wounded. Spooner again escaped the area and a widespread manhunt was organized.

The USS Olympia, which fought in the Spanish American War of 1898 has been preserved and is a valuable piece of US maritime history. Unfortunately, Olympia needs $10-15 million in repairs to keep her a viable museum for years to come. She has not been out of water for approximately 40 years.
