Arrangement part of security since Vail arson
Giant picture windows set among rough-hewn timbers. Sweeping views of the Gore Range and Mount of the Holy Cross. And ski-in, ski-out access - to China Bowl.
Wooldridge lives year round at...Two Elk Lodge restaurant, where he is the general manager. The building is at the top of Vail Mountain, 11,220 feet above sea level...
He moved into the new lodge in 1999 when it reopened following the arsons that destroyed it a year earlier.
Having a full-time resident at Two Elk was part of increased security measures after the October 1998 arsons on Vail Mountain that destroyed the restaurant, along with three other buildings and three lift terminals.
Two suspects have recently been named in the arsons...
One of the suspects, William C. Rodgers of Prescott, Ariz., killed himself in his jail cell Thursday.
The other suspect, Chelsea D. Gerlach of Eugene, Ore., has not been charged.
'I feel pretty secure'
Wooldridge's presence is part of the increased security following those fires... There are security systems both inside and outside the building...
There have been no major security incidents in the years he's lived there...
When he first moved in to the new lodge, the thought crossed his mind that he was living alone in a building that had been a target of ecoterrorism...
"You hear a strange noise and you jump to conclusions," ...
But it's not something he thinks much about anymore...
"We have a good security system in place,"... "I have a lot of different people from a lot of different departments watching my back, so I feel pretty secure."
Wooldridge said he's pleased the investigation into the 1998 fires is still active.
"I'm personally glad that they're making progress," he said.

Maybe two. A KNPV tervuren would be perfect.

Yikes!


She is a pig.
Here's where the loser use to hang out: http://catalystinfoshop.org/
"She is a pig."
Pigs worldwide are deeply saddened by your analogy. And the world's dogs are contacting their lawyers about the coming storm of invidious comparisons they feel is about to break.

Thanks for reminding me again of how much I despise Hippies.
