Boulder yurts torched

An arsonist destroyed two yurts on Sunday, April 2, in the Boulder Mountains. By the time co-owner Bob Jonas, right, arrived at the site a couple of days later, there was virtually nothing left. “It was a bombshell,” he said. “I was very upset.” Investigating authorities say they know how the blaze was ignited and are painstakingly reconstructing the crime.
