Folks, please stick to pre-approved obesogenic activities, like driving large gas-powered cars everywhere and ordering junk food from drive thru's.
You don't even need to get out of your car to shop, because if there isn't a drive-thru, there's always an underpaid driver available to speed around delivering whatever worthless crap you need.

We can't afford the extra health care burden right now! Please stick only to the costly lifestyle choices and risk factors that are part of the regular health care burden. Thanks!

Go earlier or later in the day.

Don't misinterpret my post. I am in no way advocating that folks travel outside their local vicinity, that is irresponsible right now. I was just stating that you are allowed to drive to your local trailhead for a hike. Maybe I could have worded it better.

I love it:

Q: You know you're parked in an avalanche path, right?
A: Yeah it's all good.

That's the spirit! :-D

That certainly is a nightmare scenario, but I’m not clear on which town that is - can you fill me in?

Obviously. climbingcue said "People not staying out of the small mountain towns, video shows it all." and posted that link. I just want to know what small mountain town he's talking about.
Winter Park is a small town that people were not staying out of, to get to Loveland pass from Denver you go right past Idaho Springs and Georgetown.
