This Canyon Is No Place For Christo
Supporters of Christo’s Over The River please think again.
A massive rockslide closed highway 50 this week, less than a month after a wreck shut it down. These closures have and will cause painful inconvenience and financial loss to many, and they last a few days. Over The River, designed to be built in the very same area, will cause three years of hardship.
And what kind of nightmare will we travelers of highway 50 endure if rockslides, accidents and Christo happen in the same time? Imagine yourself living here, stuck, trying to get to work, trying to get to a hospital, trying to get your kids to school, trying to live your life. Chisto’s art may be visionary and even breathtaking to some - in the right place. Bighorn Sheep Canyon is the wrong place. Please don’t do this to us.
