The meteor was very slow, and did show some small fragmentation events.
Witnesses reported seeing debris shedding. The later part of the ground path
is over private ranch land in South Park (cattle and buffalo), and is
potentially searchable. The central part of the path, where most of the
fragmentation was observed, is over mountainous area that will make finding
anything very unlikely.

Hi folks,
Just read this on cloudbait.com
If anything fell it would be in the mountains.
Too bad it wasn't more eastward. We go camping and fishing near Fairplay.
I wonder...
