I have lived here by Park School (East 6th Avenue) for 45 years and have never had a bear rummage through my trash. I keep it secured until the morning it goes out.
No one asked if I wanted or needed a huge bear resistant trash can. I only produce enough trash to fill it less than a quarter full each week (reduce, reuse, recycle) and the little locking button is impossible for anyone who has arthritis, carpel tunnel syndrome or weakness in their hands for any reason.
The can I have now is hard to open, hard to move and way too big for my needs.
I read that the finances are lacking for Lake Nighthorse, which we worked for and waited for so long. I Googled it and could not find directions to it on the Nighthorse web page. I looked in the blue pages (maps) of the phone book and there are no directions there either.
Last summer, I had friends from out of town visiting with their kids. They tried to find Lake Nighthorse for hours one hot day. There is no signage! Not when you turn off 550 to Frontage Road, not when you turn off Frontage Road to go up the hill, not at the entrance to the lake itself. Big Mistake! They never found the lake. Signs are not that expensive.
Are we trying to keep the lake a secret to ourselves?
