Waiting for light cycles to finish while cars sit there and pile up seems dumb to me.

Looking to network with some local goths in the area. 18+ but preferably 21+ just looking to share music. Hangout in a cemetery, etc. Any advice as to where to find such individuals?

Does anybody have someone that they recommend for blowing out a sprinkler system prior to winter hitting?

Looking for other adults who have had serious burns either with or without grafts who are willing to talk about their experiences and how they've moved forward

Just got offered a position in Durango CO! Very excited. Seeing that housing is limited / pricey I'm totally cool with a roommate(s) and commuting. The only problem is that I don't know a single soul in Colorado. Any tips on how to find someone or multiple people? Thanks!

Coming through town any good gluten free beer or food around? Looks like going through million dollar highway I've driven plenty of shitty roads. Will be in F150 how f'ed is it currently? Maybe I'm just reading kook driver posts. Thanks yall can't wait!

I would guess that the answer is no as a) Hesperus isn't opening this winter and b) I haven't seen any info about one, but does anyone know if there will be a ski swap in the Durango area this year?

Would like to grab a basic XC ski setup and peruse backcountry gear. If no ski swap, I'll just stick to FB Marketplace and (the ghost of) Craigslist. Thanks, all!

Hey all, I'm currently thinking of moving to Durango in the future. I'm in a field that let's me move to potentially anywhere in the state. Anyway, my main question is what has living in Durango been like for all of you. I'm hoping to find out what the different aspects of home owning and the community is like in the area. For instance if there is a certain kind of critter that you have to take extra precautions against or weather condition. I've lived in NOCO all my life so any advice or insight is greatly appreciated.

I recently watched my brother die from cancer within 2 weeks of being diagnosed. I decided I am moving from Arizona to a right-to-die state as I am 70.

I have grandkids in Phoenix and love Ouray so I'm looking at the Durango area. My question is whether it is feasible to purchase an acre or so and put a tiny house or mobile home on it? Is it a pipe dream? I need to have health care facilities not too far away. Is it outrageouly expensive? Are there unforeseen downsides?

Frankly, I'm tired and want to live my last years in nature. I first visited Ouray in 1972 and have returned whenever the chance but it has gotten a bit pricey.

Hi! Is there anywhere around here that sells good queso? Not queso fundido but like TX Mex/liquid queso, specifically. Thanks!

Hi friends! I commented on a recent post about starting LGBTQ+ meetups for queer folks in the area and got a decent amount of positive feedback so I wanted to ask those who’d be interested what you’d like to see from such a group? This idea is inspired by a group in my hometown that would meet once a month at various bars/restaurants around the city but the group was only for queer women. My idea was to either have it open to everyone in the LGBTQ+ community or change it up and have a lesbian night, a gay night, etc. but not sure if there’s enough demand for something like that. Tell me what you think! What do you want to see/get from a group like this? What do you want to avoid? What should such a group be called? Let me know!

Hi! I want to send some family on a short trip to see colors. Is Vallecito poppin yet?

Family member visiting and uses vape. No idea what shop to send them to in town. Back east they sell stuff at gas stations. Suggestions for best price location?

Hey everyone! I moved to Durango about a year ago and was wondering if there are any photographer meet ups, groups or clubs where photographers can go shoot together or share their work! I was a member of a group where I lived before here so thought maybe there might be something like that here. I live near Purg so it’s hard to meet new folks so far from town.

If there’s nothing like that then that’s okay! Just want to be more involved in our community :) Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!

I don't understand this. Is doing this supposed to make the runner/biker feel safer somehow?

A man was run over by the semi truck bringing in groceries last night around 9pm. I know I’m not the only one who saw it and have been refreshing Google searching for info. I was told he had assaulted a homeless woman the day prior. A friend of mine when told what I was immediately thought of a guy who was living in his truck behind macs liquor store, who apparently was very unhinged and violent. Yes I’m being nosy but it was horrifying to see and I’m curious to know more info.

Next try at finding a hobby group for the winter

Anyone shoot slingshots for shits, giggles, and target work?

Not necessarily into hunting with em, just killing some time in the outdoors and working on a new skill

Hey all, been a bit since I’ve been up to Molas- anyone know if the colors are turning yet? Also, thinking La Plata might be fun, would you expect colors in that area right now or is it too early yet?

Looking for help with a small excavation project. I need to level the backyard for an airstream. Any suggestions on contacts for this? Thank you!

Hello! I’ve lived in Durango for a year now and I’m still struggling to find queer community here (I’m transmasc and gay). Does anyone know of community spaces or events for queer adults? I know about the rainbow youth center, but I’m 25, and unfortunately don’t have enough time in my schedule right now to commit to a volunteer position. Any insight would be much appreciated!

Or low cost , Thanks

Are there any good spots for food that have good patios and allow dogs in Durango? I’m heading that way tomorrow from Junction and would love to stop on my drive for food, but would prefer to have the pups join me. A pic so y’all can see they are obviously very good boys 😂 Thank you!

Anywhere in Durango offer good couples massage deals?

Due to not reading directions about the show being 21+ I have 2 Mike Love tickets available at a discount. Please DM for more info. Thank you.

Hello,

I am planning a trip to Durango in late October and planning to ride the Durango Silverton steam train round trip. I’ve seen everywhere that the gondola is recommended for the best views, but thought it might be a little chilly in late October.

Am I able to book a gondola on the way up and a regular coach on the way back? And what train car would you recommend sitting in and why? I saw somewhere that you can only change cars by calling to book, not online. Another question - if I book the coach, can I walk out to the gondola and sit in an open seat for a few during the train ride? Appreciate any input or advice on doing this in general! Planning on going the second to last day of the steam train season.

I'm in silverton for the weekend b4 heading back to Utah. I was wondering how feasible would it be to attempt a drive to handies peak trailhead in a 2015 Honda accord.

Reading mix reviews online. Sounds possible but sketchy. It seems all the other 14ers in the region are 100% not doable via 2wd unless I drive around the moutains and possibly head from lake city.
