Hats off (cowboy of course) to the Adams Family for their decision to place a conservation easement on their ranch — The Flying Diamond Ranch here in Routt County.

It's encouraging to know there are people who see themselves as stewards of the land for a duration of time and who bow, not to the almighty dollar, but to the Almighty and His creation.

On behalf of those who drive Highway 131 everyday, those who will drive it in the future, and if they could speak, the elk, the bear, the deer, etc… a heartfelt thanks.
