    You know, I keep talking about connections. We bought our 1st of FOUR Avions in about 1980. We dragged them across the country at least 6 times (Florida was base camp where we taught school). Towed with vans, Suburbans and pickups. Had the time of our lives. Came west so often we settled, at...

    Fred was Sheriff when I was on the "Posse". That was about 8 years ago. I regularly got in trouble because I spent time with Fred. Once even served as Bailiff. He has since retired and he and Delores are 18 wheeling it.

    Gregor, Thanks for sharing this. It is something that I also believe, but just don't say loud enough or often enough. It takes a certain amount of bravery to make these statements, and I appreciate and look up to you for this. I do share commonalities here. Westcliffe, in deep rural Colorado...

    Sorry about that. The Jet stuff I have seen (building robots with kids in a wood shop) looks good, although when we bought for the robotics team we settled for Rikon. FtC and LvLnd are one of my favorite areas. We lived there in the 70's and owned a hobby shop in FtC. Daughter and her fam lived...

    Thanks for sharing the trials and tribulations. Enjoyed YOUR stress of the build and getting it running. The video feed worked well too. Congratulations

    Thanks for sharing. The house looks great and I know that area west of the Backbone is equally great. Congrats. BTW there is a Woodcraft store near the intersection of 34 and the interstate.

    Glad you talked through the cable ends. From IG, I thought that was what happened. Thanks for the lesson.

    I'd try the Creede - South Park area. Lots of gold mines and mountains.

    Beautiful site. Kids used to live very near there and we lived in Ft Collins years ago. Driven past there, to Estes, hundreds of times. Congrats

    Thanks for the short essay. I started with film cameras when I was about 8. A classic Kodak Box with B&W. 68 years later I shoot with a full-frame Canon and an iPhone 7. I have shot weddings and portraits and loved it. I have done art shows and small exhibits, but ..., everyone thinks they're...

    Next time try the site of the cell tower, accessible through Silver Cliff Ranch. About the highest spot on the east side with good shot of the west side. Mike

    Awesome job on the trailer. We pulled one like that for 18 years. Where did you source the orange strip material? I thought I had recognized the mountains in earlier pictures. We lived in Westcliffe summers for 6 or 7 years. Had a place on the east side of the valley, but elevation was too...
