Tell me about Colorado

[Flashmann]

13. Ft.Collins

Is a nice college town,45-60 minutes north of Denver and 30-45 minutes south of Cheyenne,Wyoming...Cheyenne can be a neat place at times,certainly during the "Frontier Days" celebration.....Usually pretty windy up that way.....I know that,because the last 5 years I lived out there I drove a semi,over the road,and was up through there many times.....

There's a nice little reservoir a little west of Ft.Collins,Pinewood,that I used to camp and fish at,back in the 70s and early 80s....The famous Stanley Hotel,also is out that way.....Near the Big Thompson Canyon,where I also used to camp and fish.....In fact back in the mid 70s there was a huge flood in that canyon that wiped the little town of Glenhaven right off the map....Me and 3 friends had been camping right on the banks of that river,when rain sent us home a day early...Had we stayed that last night,we would've been on the river bank when what was decribed as a 50 wall of water,boulders,trees,cars and shit washed through there......Horrible.....But the canyon is awesome....Probably a half hour from Ft.Collins.....
