Ruby, the oldest living mountain lion on record, was put down on April 2 at the grand old age of 23. Here, Plum host Ramona Bruland talks to Melissa Margetts, who used Ruby to educate people how to care for and be safe around wild animals and mountain lions.

Telluride says goodbye to Ruby the mountain lion. Rescued from a U.S. Department of Agriculture fur farm, Ruby went on to live at the Rocky Mountain Ark Wildlife Rehabilitation Center and lived to be the oldest mountain lion in the world. After suffering from ailments associated with old age, she was put down this spring. In this video, Ramona interviews Melissa Margetts, who used Ruby to teach people about mountain lions and safety around wild animals.

Everyone in Telluride seems to be heading from the hills these days, packing swimsuits, bikes, boats, climbing and camping gear for a much needed warm vacation. And it's no wonder - the mountain is closed and the Snocats are digging around, making it difficult for hikers to access any remaining and new dumps of snow.

So if you're fretting about what to do in the off season, here are Plum's picks that are perfectly ripe for the pickin'.

With the ski season over in a little more than a week, and the mountain closing down, some Telluride residents and visitors may be wondering what to do in their spare time. Plum may have an answer for you.

PlumTV host Ramona Bruland headed out to Moab, Utah, home of the gorgeous arches and even better views. It may not be Telluride, but there's plenty to do in Moab: you can go white-water rafting, hiking, catch a ride on a 4x4, or even, like Ramona, grab a mountain bike and try your luck on the trails.

Ramona Bruland trades in her skis and snowboard for wheels and hits the Slickrock Trail in Moab, Utah for some extreme mountain biking.

Plum host Ramona Bruland talks to local realtor John Horn about how resort economies, such as Telluride, are changing, which was the focus of the "Thinking Outside the Box Canyon" meeting.
