Denver, named for a territorial governor who never lived here.
Ryan WarnerHOST
Montrose, do you know this about Montrose? Named for the 1819 novel, A Legend of Montrose.
Ryan WarnerHOST
There's the Johnson Tunnel, not named for Lyndon, but for former Governor Edwin C. Johnson.
Ryan WarnerHOST
Do you have any favorite Colorado place names? Let's get unruly.
David HauserGUEST
So, um, actually we had went on a, you know, kinda team beast.
David HauserGUEST
We had all went on an, an outfit elk hunt out in Montrose, Colorado area.
David HauserGUEST
Um, same place where Josh killed that magnum bull, I believe it was two, two or three years ago.
Greg PooleHOST
Mm-hmm.
KellenSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
... that's honestly one of my favorite spots to explore around here in Colorado, and I highly encourage you guys, if you haven't been down here, you've gotta come.
KellenSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
There's not really any, like, insane rock crawling, I'd say, I mean, unless you go out towards the Montrose, Ouray, and Telluride area.
KellenSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Um, kinda down in that, like, Montrose Valley, there's a lot of fun rock crawling.
KellenSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
But a lot of the stuff we have here is just kinda higher up, uh, like cool elevation trails where you're just on, like, an old mining shelf, you know, basically.
KellenSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
But, uh, we do actually have roads where you can drive almost up to 14,000 feet.
Bill BlackHOST
From record-setting speed, we return to powerful punches and a big receiving performance on September 23rd.
Bill BlackHOST
In 1915, Cherokee boxer Jack Dempsey faces Fred Woods at Moose Hall in Montrose, Colorado.
Bill BlackHOST
Dempsey knocks out Woods in the fourth round, adding another victory during the early years of the career that eventually carries him to the World Heavyweight Championship.
Bill BlackHOST
25 years later in 1940, Iroquois boxer Henry Armstrong meets Phil Furrer in Washington, DC.
Michael BrownHOST
The Southern Colorado forests have run out of quality saw timber that is reasonably accessible.
Michael BrownHOST
Well, I pointed that out, that in Montrose, now he's talking about southern Colorado.
Michael BrownHOST
Well, I guess, would you consider Montrose? I don't really consider Montrose to be southern Colorado.
Michael BrownHOST
I think more about Alamosa.
Michael BrownHOST
But he's right in that that would, as I pointed out yesterday, sometimes used to be, well, at one time it was like 50 miles away.
Michael BrownHOST
I told you the wood is there, and the trees are there, and that part is true.
Michael BrownHOST
But he caught me on the difference between a tree and a saw log.
Michael BrownHOST
Because the mill, whether it's the Montrose or anyplace else, does not run on trees.
Michael BrownHOST
We've gone from Mecca to a sawmill.
Michael BrownHOST
So Glenn grew up on land where his nursery sits now, right up against the Montrose Forest Products over on the western slope.
Michael BrownHOST
San Juan Gardens, that's what he calls it.
Michael BrownHOST
And for as long as he can recall, the sound of that sawmill, has been the background noise of his entire life.
Michael BrownHOST
And Glenn will tell you, he'd take the sawdust from next door and use it to heal in his young trees, packing around the roots to hold them through the season, free, right over the fence.
Michael BrownHOST
Last week, Glenn found out that that sound is going away.
Michael BrownHOST
Montrose Forest Products is shutting down.
Michael BrownHOST
Surrounded by trees, but out of wood.
Chris RourkePANELIST
But the biggest thing that we need to maintain is forest health with these forest fires.
Chris RourkePANELIST
And there is Colorado's largest mill in Montrose has just announced that it will be closing.
Chris RourkePANELIST
and laying off 90 people.
Chris RourkePANELIST
They tried to find a buyer for it, but they could not.
Chris RourkePANELIST
And financially, it's just not there for it.
Chris RourkePANELIST
It's Montrose Forest Products.
Chris RourkePANELIST
And what is very important about this mill closing is this is where a lot of that dead timber was brought off Forest Service lands to clean up, to prevent fires, and they'd take it to this mill to be processed into usable products.
Chris RourkePANELIST
Well, that resource is not there anymore.
Natalie HeacockHOST
Nice.
TrentHOST
Well, in a similar vein, something that's kind of hot off the press, so to speak, is that a war notice came out yesterday in Colorado that Montrose Forest Products LLC, which is in Montrose, Colorado, announced that as of effective that day through November 6th, that they were going to be closing their plant there, which would affect 90 people against the Montrose.
TrentHOST
A little more detail that I was reading is that they had been looking for a buyer like publicly for quite some time to try to make this so this wasn't going to happen.
TrentHOST
So no one had come forward.

And I find the cheapest hotel I can find is in Montrose, Colorado.
David ColarossiHOST
Find a super cheap hotel, drive in there, same thing, 11 o'clock at night.
David ColarossiHOST
And it is the grossest hotel I've ever seen in my entire, it was so, it looks like a, like a like a prison there's like three boxy buildings that hold right and we're in like we're in cell or you know block c get in there we get the in the uh person that gives you your key is in a different building walk in there it smells like bleach she gives you my key and goes you're in you're in uh you're in block c so we walk over there i drive my car over there i park and i park the car and right next to me there's this big red diesel truck with three guys in it just eating on the dashboard, staring at the building that we're going to walk into.
