We travel to Fort Collins quite often to visit Paige, attend CSU football games, and other CSU events. We like taking Hwy 287 because it is more scenic and less stressful than I-25. Last Fall, we noticed books tossed on the side of the road and median. Unfortunately, I wasn't driving or you can be sure I would have stopped and rescued all of these wayward works of literacy. Was this just a result of poor packing or someone's equivalent of book burning? The mystery continued when we came across discarded books on a few more trips after that. I wasn't the only person wondering about this- so was the Department of Transportation. Today Channel 9 posted on Facebook that they caught the perpetrator read handed! The article below does not explain why the man felt the need to throw books out the window-hopefully there will be another chapter to this story!
