More skeletal remains have been found north of the Adams Park area in northwest Routt County. This after a hunter discovered a skull a week ago. Routt County Sheriff’s officers and Routt County Search and Rescue worked with three dog teams. The remains were collected by the Routt County Coroner. Routt County Undersheriff Doug Scherar will not confirm yet if they are the remains of Jacob Cyr who was reported missing in the area, which is north of where the Rainbow Gathering was held this summer, on Aug. 8. The remains are being sent out today for confirmation.
Club 20 hosted their annual meeting and Club 20 Debates this past weekend in Grand Junction. It’s a group that was set up back in 1953, that promotes the interests of 22 counties in Western Colorado. Former Moffat County Commissioner Ray Beck is the membership chair.
Also at the Club 20 meeting was Perry Will, who is the current State House Representative for House District 57, which includes Moffat and Rio Blanco counties. With redistricting, those two counties join Routt and Eagle counties in District 26. But until Jan. 1, Perry Will is still the representative.
Will is running in his new district, which includes Garfield and Pitkin counties and part of Eagle County, which is all in the Roaring Fork Valley.
