It’s nice to see repeat visitors to Escalante and many more new faces. The first few small groups of motorcycles have passed through. Last weekend we saw our first car club visit – Circa 2000+ Corvettes in every color and mostly convertibles – should have been a nice ride.
We’re only 3 weeks from High School graduation on May 26th. Class of 2011 is 13 strong. And with declining enrollment, it will be difficult to keep from having the Elementary School moved to the High School – unless there’s a change in the Boulder enrollment. I’d like to see some hard number of costs for different scenarios
- Boulder Elementary School Operating Costs and Revenues
- Escalante Elementary School Operating Costs and Revenues
- Escalante High School Operating Costs and Revenues
- Costs to bus students from Boulder to Escalante.
New Escalante Irrigation District will charge lines and open at 100% May 7th. ASI did a great job rebuilding the dam and it looks wonderful. Rumor has it DNR has stocked it with trout already. Public access is just before the entrance to Escalante Petrified Forest State Park – along the face of the dam and up the west end – no fee. You can walk and fish along the top – but no vehicles. Great place for kids to fish.
Weather this weekend – outstanding. Come on down.
