Josh Shaffer - Please take the time to read this long post. (Concerns CO flooding)

Please take the time to read this long post. Its about the only way Getting out for the people on Storm Mountain. We've known of this lady that keeps the gate onto road 153 (the back way up to Storm Mountain) causing problems before. But this guy's post explains it really well. He was on the top of the mountain and made his way down only to run into this lady. Read-

I hope everyone is safe and dry. I'm on Storm Mountain in Drake all our road are gone. We are clearing an old forest road to see if we can get down. A man was able to do it but there is a lady in Masonville with a locked gate blocking the road and not letting anyone through.

If you are in Masonville and you know who this might be we need a name or an address or something to get off this mountain. She did the same thing with the fire up here in 2000. This is from the man that made the trip up. It's long but please read. I need to get hay up here for my horses as my hay stash is under water.

I am addressing this issue to all local media outlets in hopes of rectifying the following malicious situation.
There is a mountain community, 400+ strong, stranded. All roads off this mountain have been obliterated by the floodwaters. However, there is one way down. This 10-mile section of national forest is accessible by the residents on the mountain. However, at the very bottom of the road there is a woman who leases land from the government. She is the “gate keeper” and has decided to keep it locked. In her words: “those people choose to live up there, they can figure out some other way on and off that mountain”.

She knows there is no other way, but she doesn’t care. She pulled the same thing in 2000 when there was a huge forest fire. People at the bottom actually had to break the gate down so residents, literally racing down the hill with fire on their tale, could flee the danger.
