When John Koch looks out his back window in Pinewood Springs, the vista he loves is a beautiful mountain at sunset.
But, in recent weeks, the Colorado Department of Transportation has been blasting and rebuilding U.S. Highway 36 after the floods, forcing drivers wait.
“Yesterday, within half-an-hour there were three groups of people using my yard [to relieve themselves],” said Koch.
He has tried having a sense of humor, posting a “Don’t P Here” sign. Then, he posted a no trespassing sign. He put up a rope and piled branches between trees.
Koch and his wife are now trying to catch trespassers on camera to turn them in, because with construction scheduled to last until the end of the year, there is no relief in sight… or rather there’s too much.
