Printed on this undated postcard: “Mt. Manitou Park, Manitou, Colo. / A thousand acre park on top of Mt. Manitou, 9,500 feet above sea level. / Ten thousand square miles of scenery within the range of vision.” Completed in 1907, the Incline was a 1 mile cable tram built to support the construction of a hydroelectric plant. The railway was then bought and turned into an attraction. The Incline boasted a 16 minute ride to “scenic splendors,” 10 miles of hiking trails in Mount Manitou Park and claimed to be the “longest and highest incline on the globe.”

Despite some pushback from residents, the Planning Commission unanimously approved two plans for the City of Normanâs solar panel project at a water treatment facility.
Farmers who live near 3000 E. Robinson Street told commissioners Thursday night that the cityâs plans to expand some operations at the Vernon Campbell Water Treatment Plant could increase stormwater runoff in an area prone to flooding.
The Utilities Authorityâs plan is to install a solar array to offset electricity usage and install a compost scale structure near the compost facility.
Alison Wilson wanted to know what the cityâs plans are to mitigate stormwater runoff and how staff arrived at the opinion that there would be no negative impacts, as stated in a report.

Bushwhacking Eagle Cliff and Downing Mountain
Eagle Cliff and Downing Mountain are two New Hampshire 500 Highest peaks located near Stinson Lake outside of Rumney, NH. They’re in a section of the White Mountain National Forest that doesn’t have many maintained trails, so they’re seldom visited. Snowmobiling is popular in this area, however, and there is a well developed and maintained trail network that hikers and mountain bikers can access if they wish to explore the area. Since these two peaks are largely within the National Forest, there aren’t any public access issues, provided you respect the homeowners and property owners abutting the area.Eagle Cliff and Downing Mountain
