In Telluride, the San Miguel County Sheriff was recently less than thrilled, after quite a few people drove up Black Bear Pass outside of town, got stuck up there on the unpaved road of loose rocks, and had to be towed down\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apparently, someone had dug away a lot of the snow on the pass, then posted on social media saying it was \u201copen.\u201d It was not. Multiple drivers tried the last few days to make it up Black Bear, even with their 4-wheel-drive vehicles, and couldn\u2019t successfully make the trip. Sheriff Bill Masters tweeted out some choice language about the folks who went up there unprepared, saying in these words, \u201cSome people have it together and know what they\u2019re doing, but some who venture up there are complete \u2018blank\u2019 clowns,\u201d referring to folks\u2019 backsides. Without the colorful word, Masters\u2019 Public Information Officer Susan Lilly says there really is a safety concern\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the cars photographed stuck on the pass had Texas license plates.\u00a0 Sheriff Masters knows his stuff in southwestern Colorado\u2026\u00a0 he was first appointed to the job in 1980, and is the longest-serving Sheriff in Colorado history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
