Groundwater pumping for border wall construction will affect Quitobaquito Springs-- a sacred site to the O'odham and home to endangered mud turtles and pupfish @AZPMnews news.azpm.org/p/news-article…

Two giant boulders came crashing down onto Colorado 145 near Dolores last week, wiping out part of the highway. A motorist missed getting hit by 20 feet. See the Cortez Journal story at: the-journal.com/articles/139…
