Hi Friends of the Colorado River,

BAD NEWS.  Yesterday there was a catastrophic mine waste spill into a Colorado river. The spill occurred just upstream of Durango, Colorado, on the Animas River. The Animas flows into the San Juan River which flows into the Colorado River in southeast Utah. Below is an image of the front page of today's Durango Herald newspaper. The story is here:
