This wide-angle aerial photo from a drone-mounted camera, provided by the Mesa County Sheriff's Office Wednesday, May 28, 2014, shows the devastation of the three-mile long mudslide below Grand Mesa, where the slide started, background, in a remote part of western Colorado near the small town of Collbran. Authorities Wednesday were bracing for the possibility of another landslide amid dangerously unstable conditions that led them to call off the search for three ranchers missing there. Mesa County Sheriff Stan Hilkey said Tuesday the search eventually could resume for Clancy Nichols, 51, who also worked as a county road and bridge employee; his son Danny Nichols, 24; and Wes Hawkins, 46, the longtime manager of the local water district. But it might not be safe enough to do so until summer. (AP Photo/Mesa County Sheriff's Office)
