Gravel driveway. Snow blowers really don't like gravel (it jams them and you end up replacing the shear pin). So, I have been doing it the old fashioned way for the last twenty-one years*. I figure that if I can no longer shovel my driveway it is time to move down to Montrose, where they get hardly any snow! Some pictures from 2016:DGP,
Do we need to set up a gofundme to get you a snow blower, or was that 13 hours using a snow blower? Either way, seems pretty clear a new snow blower is in order...

^ Driveway looking up toward road.
^ Driveway looking down from road; it isn't obvious from the picture, but this part is a 10% grade. Needless to say, I use snow tires on my RWD S-60.
* I listen to audio books while I shovel — makes it more fun!

I'd appreciate it if someone who can see the cost of this Supercharger Station on their screen would post the number. (I can't see the cost because I have FUSC.) I need the info for a letter I plan to write.

I noticed the pedestals were numbered (with tiny tape: big numbers coming soon?) as 1-ABCD and 2-ABCD.
Pilot circling overhead was extremely jealous.
Taken 2:30 this afternoon. Picked up a few things from City Market (Kroger) while charging.

End of 2018, just barely before the end of 2020 -- pretty much right on, for Elon Time!

After power was turned on Friday, we had an impromptu gathering of the Western Colorado Tesla club at the station. We'll be hoping to have a more formal "opening" in January with the club. I'll also be checking out Craig this week to see if there is any movement that direction with chargers.

Nice!
Regarding Craig, the Colorado Energy Office site indicates that a CCS/CHAdeMO site is under construction in Craig, but doesn't indicate the exact location:
"As of December 2020...Six additional sites have received permits and have entered the construction phase including Vail, Wheat Ridge, Rifle, Wellington, Granby, and Craig. These locations are anticipated to come online soon."

Given past patterns, I would definitely check at the Kum&Go locations in Craig for either CCS/CHAdeMO or potential supercharger construction... Thanks for scouting!
I believe that's due to the freshly painted lines.
The ChargePoint stalls have never had both active. It may be that the "Unavailable" stall will become available if the other is in use, but that's a WAG on my part. Perhaps they just forgot to activate that stall when the shipping crate blocking it was removed.
Tried charging here today and no luck. I tried at least four of the stations and none of them would start charging. I got the Blinky blue light and it said it was starting to charge but it never did. The whole station is showing off line in the onboard app. This is really frustrating as we are on a family road trip and we’re banking on that station being online. Hope they get it fixed before we come back through on Wednesday.
Hopefully you didn't try 4 from the same cabinet. I'd definitely try at least one from each cabinet.
Looks like they moved the cones too - all the stalls had cones blocking them yesterday.
