Blogger Notes

I've found some maps that we can use for our Outdoors section. I want to have a listing of 'hiking hot spots' and links to maps.

So far the areas I'll be highlighting are:

Marshall Mesa

Chautauqua

Mt Sanitas

I also found listings of what events are taking place at NREL (National Renewable Energy Lab) and NCAR (National Center for Atmospheric Research) during July and August.

For NREL it looks like there are a couple talks in July-- but the site warns they may be rescheduled. There are no events in August.

At NCAR, there are 4 events listed in July, but none in August.

For our Food section, I've found a list that details what foods can be composted in the curbside bins. Since we're highlighting this as a story, I'd like to make some kind of graphic from this information.

Jessie and I also plan on heading to the Farmer's Market Wednesday night to do some reporting. I'm also hoping to interview a ranger at the Chautauqua station this week to find out some Mountain Lion and bear tips.
