As you drive through parts of Boulder, you'll find containers filled with mattresses, wood, carpet and a million random things that have been destroyed. We grabbed our masks and gloves and headed up to clean out the place. The carpet has been wet for two weeks, mold is forming and the lower parts of the wall are absorbing all the water. We'll have to replace some items and others could use a deep cleaning.
As we drove out that night, we were instructed by the Nationl Guard to drive up Fourmile to get to Sunshine Canyon. It definitely didn't seem like the safest choice. The road has collapsed to only fit one car with broken sections on both sides. Some parts drop off about 20 feet and you wonder how stable is this right now. It was the most damage I've seen in our area and it was only less than a quarter mile up from our house.
Here are some photos from our evening of cleaning:

As of now, we have received $190 in donations. Please contact me if you know of a family that has been displaced and could use a good meal. I can be reached at: [email protected]. We plan on making some meals next week.
