The only way to isolate yourself from US politician's actions is to move to another country. A well informed electorate is key to all our well being.Too cold for me...but I understand the concept of getting away..I love where I live...the crazies for me are the politicians...I don't watch the news and try to isolate myself from their actions...but their actions(or lack of) affect my life...
I’m not sure how, but that path was definitely the result of the beaver up there (lots and lots of them). Probably a natural berm between a pair of old ponds that turned into a narrow path when the beaver made their dams higher.Is that your path out to that little point or did the critters make it?
I hate Colorado. In fact, I hate it so much that I visit at least once a year, and some years as many as five times, just to remind myself how much I hate the place. LOLI was born and raised in Colorado Springs (6000 feet) and after a long career in the Chicago area (but first starting with 6 years in Urbana) chose to retire back in Colorado, near family. This area was one of my favorites for camping, hiking, and fishing growing up.
A friend of mine was a big railroad collector....he had an awesome train setup in his home...he made trips to Colorado for train rides...this was one he talked aboutWe've been to Leadville, my train fanatic son and myself. We hung out there for a couple hours shooting video and getting photos while touring around. I'm told Leadville was the birthplace of the May Company department stores (RIP)?
Colorado has so many great aspects going for it. Your examples of the natural beauty top the list!
Interesting - I did not know about the May Company until you mentioned it. Founded in Leadville in 1877, the same year as Leadville’s founding, and only about a year into the silver boom (the area’s first boom was gold about a decade earlier).We've been to Leadville, my train fanatic son and myself.

I had a Samsung I was very happy with overall. Then after the hurricane last year while I was clearing the driveway I must have left it on the roof. Anyway it got run over and I found it later but too late for a trade in. Being as how I had no trade in my wife went cheapo (IMOO) and got a Motorola from Verizon. It's OK, but to me the epitome of Android phones is Samsung.This old fukstick had a Samsung S5, was happy with it until it started doing the opposite of what I was trying to do. Want to snap a pic, push the camera button and the phone keypad would come on....Want to use the phone, push the phone button and my photo gallery would come on. Been an android guy, but everyone tells me you got to get an Apple phone!! So I relent and buy an Apple 12, transfer all my files & pics over. Spent a week trying to figure it out. with frustration building.....I bought yet another phone , a Samsung 22.......All good now.
This was over a year ago and just typing this is bring back all the Apple frustration....LOL

BTW I've since managed to crack the screen. I guess only the screen protector kept it intact.![]()
That one out of Canyon City is quite unique. Diesel pulling coaches and open flat cars, (where I perfected the perfect sunburn), trace the river between high cliffs on either side and then reverse.A friend of mine was a big railroad collector....he had an awesome train setup in his home...he made trips to Colorado for train rides...this was one he talked about
Wow. I had a Samsung A51, that's the one I ran over. I don't use the Oppo app, but the Onkyo app worked fine on it and works on the Motorola.My first smart phone was a Galaxy S4. I did not break or lose it. It's in a drawer somewhere... But I really don't remember the reason for upgrading to my next phone a Galaxy S8. I would still be happily using it but when we had a massive family vacation in Disney World about 1.5 yrs ago, the OS was not compatible with the Disney app. Hell you can't even go to the bathroom in Disney World without using the app. Since the prestigious "S" line is too expensive for me nowadays I opted for a Samsung A53 with 5G. I feel nothing is lacking for my needs it's a great phone. I don't need something with 10 camera lenses on it.
But the humble S8 is not dead or counted out. One of the apps that was transferred from old phone to new was the Oppo remote control app. But it worked very buggy on the new phone and very unpredictable what would actually happen each time using. I figured it got corrupted somehow so I uninstalled & went looking at the Samsung app store to reload it. At that point I was not allowed to down load it because the app was not compatible with the new OS. Odds Bodkins! So the S8 lives on in my Bassment as the frequently used Oppo remote. I can't phone on it but the web browser works fine even when the date & time is way, way off on the phone.
Both that pedestrian bridge and the Black Canyon of the Gunnison are effective for making you toss your cookies (if extreme heights bother you).There is a pedestrian bridge that crosses high above the river canyon with entertainment and dining options. That was fun too.
Too late you're with us on QQProbably to get away from all the crazies. That would be my excuse anyway.
Too late you're with us on QQ![]()
Duncan that was my exact thought when I read GOS's comment...and probably everyone else's too.Too late you're with us on QQ![]()
To paraphrase .... you don't have to be crazy to be on QQ but it sure helpsDuncan that was my exact thought when I read GOS's comment...and probably everyone else's too.![]()

Hmm. Entertainment and dining on a high foot bridge. Let me think that over...Nah, I'm good!That one out of Canyon City is quite unique. Diesel pulling coaches are open flat cars, (where I perfected the perfect sunburn), trace the river between high cliffs on either side and then reverse.

Sure. But as long as it's not a swinging bridge.....I'm ok. lol.Not ON the bridge; that's the connector between public areas on either side.![]()
