GLEN HAVEN, CO - SEPTEMBER 30: Residents and volunteers watch an excavator clear a culvert along North on North Fork Road in Glen Haven, Co on September 30, 2013 as it clears rocks, trees and debris. With little help currently from the outside world, except for the local electric company trying to establish electricity in the community, residents of the small mountain hamlet of Glen Haven, Co are picking up the pieces themselves on September 30, 2013. Because this culvert was clogged during the flooding, the West Creek river flowing parallel to town took out the bridge on this road and completely changed course. Residents are trying to put the river back to where it was prior to the flood. (Photo By Helen H. Richardson/ The Denver Post)
