A natural gas leak near White Wash north of Moab left hundreds of campers stranded over the weekend while Ruby Ranch Road was closed to prevent explosion. The leak was contained early Monday morning after leaking thousands of pounds of natural gas. We also hear from our partners at Aspen Public Radio about a proposed crude oil transportation railway along the Colorado River. Plus, we have a story from KBUT about the town of Crested Butte’s potential legal action against the United States Postal Service following years of delays and staff shortages at local post offices.
