Midday with New Dimensions – The Great Chicago Fire
Central LibraryThe Great Chicago Fire of 1871, presented by Sheree Fukai at the Mesa County Central Library, 443 N. 6th Street, at noon, on Thursday, February 12. Sheree is a retired engineer who lived most of her life in the “Windy City” leading to a deep interest in its unique history.
Fire raged through Chicago, Illinois, for three days in October of 1871. Roughly 3.3 square miles of the city was destroyed, leaving over 100,000 residents homeless.
Did Mrs. O’Leary's cow really kick over the lantern? Sheree Fukai will tell the story of Chicago before the fire, how the fire started, why it was so devastating, and life in Chicago after the fire.
Midday with New Dimensions is a partnership between Mesa County Libraries and New Dimensions Lifelong Learning, offering free public lectures. Seating is first come, first served. -

Hiking
ACTIVITIESThis Thursday we will hike in McInnis Canyons to an old settler's cabin that has been partially restored to preserve its rustic appearance, known as Skinner's Cabin. According to one hiker, " It's a super easy trail with beautiful rock formations and fun and informative placards" This hike is so short that we will combine it with the nearby Fruita Paleo Trail. On this trail you can read the informative geological and paleontological signs, close your eyes and imagine that you are walking amid the dinosaurs. 🦕🦕 🦕 Total for the 2 hikes is less than 3.5 miles and 200 feet elevation gain. Hike time, about 2 hours. It should be sunny 🌞 and cold, around 30 degrees. Jim is to be thanked for suggesting these 2 hikes and will be leading, as I need to be out of town Thursday.
Note: As with last week, There is a slight chance that the atmospheric river, now hitting California , may cause a weather problem here again. Watch this space for more information. As usual if it rains at hiking time, the hike will be cancelled. Otherwise we should have a good hike.
We will meet in Fruita at Dinosaur Journey Thursday, at 10:00 (Still late). We will then carpool to the trailheads. Afterwards, we may find ourselves at Munchies. Who knows?
