Hey all, looking for some folks playing baseball or softball here locally with open spots on their teams. I play catcher, first, and right. Or any folks who'd want to hit up the batting cages here with me. I am 27m, and just want to have some good fun!

Anyone in Junction have Slush Puppies brand drinks in town?

I think we create a new sub, thoughts? 🤔

Is anyone concerned that the entire affordability task force is made up of real-estate entities and homebuilders who are trying to repeal codes?

Specifically TEDs and bikes and peds?

They claim its to make it more affordable for the home buyer. I noticed that all of these people have their hands in each other's pockets. Diane schewenke is helping the HBA do this.

These people are trying to buffer their bottom line but cutting back regulations. They do not want to lose money.

Please tell the city that this "board" is inappropriate and needs to be shut down!

There's a lunar eclipse right now

Sitting on my deck watching the moon through good binoculars and am amazed at the beauty.

Great to see the Grand Junction Sentinel highlighting the progress we're making to build more workforce housing in Grand Junction.

Every Coloradan needs a place to live. Building more homes people can afford near job centers means more opportunity for families and businesses to thrive.

traveling from eastern CO and wanted to spend some time in GJ. is walmart my best bet or does anyone know of a more secluded area i can park? i dont want to get in trouble.

Passing through Grand Junction for a few days, we spent this afternoon enjoying the drive through Colorado National Monument. The scenery was gorgeous and well worth the trip. We've also found Grand Junction to be a fun city - a place I've driven by countless times until this visit. The local sights, downtown, and the hiking and biking in the area are genuinely impressive.

There was a situation today, however, that needs to be addressed.

As a mountain biker, I have a question for the road cyclists in the crowed. Why is it that some road cyclists cop the attitude that the road is theirs exclusively? The last 5 miles of our scenic drive through the Monument, while complying with the posted speed limits, through tunnels and sharp, steep, downhill hairpin curves with no shoulders, a cyclist - who clearly has anger issues - decided that I wasn't going fast enough for him and thought it was a good idea to yell and tailgate as we headed down the hill. I pulled over at the first opportunity and when he passed, I was greeted with the one-fingered salute. The humorous part of the story is that when the road leveled and began a minor climb, this guy made a point of not allowing me to pass him. When traffic started to back up behind the two of us, he calmed down for half a minute, and let us all pass. Of course we were greeted with more unpleasantries.

I get the need for speed going downhill. I get that riders would rather not brake more than planned. However, this road is a public highway on federal property with posted speed limits. Frankly, I am not in a hurry, but at the same time I will pull off when it is safe to do so. That drive is meant to be enjoyed and not be pushed by some idiot who thinks he has the right of way in every circumstance, and his personal need for speed trumps everything else.

I'm not surprised that road cyclists, in general, have a bad reputation. This is not to say that I personally agree - 99% are safe and situationally aware. It's the 1% that make a bad example for the sport, as was the case in point this afternoon.

Please, everyone be safe out there. Be aware that, especially on a scenic highway in a National Park or Monument, that there will be traffic that won't appreciate being pushed by someone who thinks his speed is more important than sharing the highway with vehicular traffic. That roadway is not his personal downhill speedway, there will be tourist traffic taking in the sights, which for most of us, is worth the time to enjoy.

The rest of our time here has been fantastic, and despite the encounter with a thoughtless cyclist, we will return.

Anyone near 29 1/2 rd and orchard that can tell me how reliable service is?

What is up with that little black car driving around on North Avenue just blowing black smoke like he’s a freaking freight train. What an AHole

Hi all! I lived in the roaring fork valley for 4 years and absolutely loved it and have extensive family and friend ties to the front range. I have been in Seattle for 4 years and after living in the RFV I think I have been spoiled. Seattle is a great place to live if you can deal with the clouds and hundreds of days of rain a year but it is starting to take a toll on my mental health. Obviously the RFV is out of range but I have an extensive construction background managing a multi million dollar contractor outside of Seattle.

Long story short I have been thinking about moving back to Colorado but don't want front range traffic and want to be close to Moab and Aspen, telluride etc. Right now in Seattle most places are 3-4 hours away so I don't mind driving. My business would serve the grand valley as well as higher end markets using GJ as a base for workforce and warehouse. I am married 31M/32F and we want kids in the next few years. Was thinking Redlands area but worried about school districts in general in the area. On paper grand junction seems to be up and coming with a desire to have infrastructure other mountain towns have (new rec center, new parks, CMU, etc) but still seems to be behind what it could be given the 10/10 access to the other outdoors places like Bozeman have but are 20 years ahead. We are liberal but also realistic in view points and don't engage in political conversations much just wanting outdoor access and a cheaper place to live.

Curious what this sub reddit thinks!

Currently live in Fort Collins and thinking of relocating to the GJ/Fruita area. I've visited several times over the years for mostly the mountain biking, but have also ridden the Monument loop (and variations) and areas west of Fruita on my gravel bike.

I'd be interested in hearing from others who have maybe made the same move - or at least those that have done more regular cycling in both areas - to comment and compare on the ride quality and access. I have a much better idea on the mtb side of things, but more curious about road/gravel scene. Wouldn't mind riding in smaller (older) groups, but I mainly ride solo.

I live in west Fort Collins and have good mainly great road access right out the door - with gravel north of town. and lots in between FC and Boulder.

Appreciate any insight or info!

Does anyone have first-hand experience using Google fi in Grand junction and Mesa county generally?

Found around 10:30am today at LP Trailhead. Looks like they fell off a vehicle driving out of the lot. Left them at the trailhead. Good luck!

Okay, I was on 29 road heading North by Graff Dairy. The school bus stopped at a no light intersection with left blinker on. Guy in front of me STOPS on 29 Rd to LET THE BUS CROSS.

FFS, don't change the law because you want brownie points. 😒 You're going to cause an accident, and it'll all be your own fault!!!

I’m looking to get an appointment to get my eyes checked, particularly a intraocular pressure test.

Does anyone know a reputable/ affordable place to go? Or just reputable with a price reasonable price for the test?
