"Just don’t move here."

You have to pay for that view with a long hike.

Rocky Mountain National Park is my guess.

Hey Lem - I have a gorgeous photo that I snapped with my phone while on a CO hike. How do I get it to you?

Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves said...

Lone Eagle Peak.

I plan on coming to Colorado next month for 2 nights. My lady loves ghost stuff. I don't believe any such crap, but she's hot, so I do what I must to please her. We're gonna stay at the "haunted" Stanley Hotel (featured in "The Shining"). We'll take haunted tours and drink too much at night, then do some hiking during the days in those beautiful mountains. I could see myself settling in Colorado. How much does it stink of leftism over there. The stench is overpowering here in California, and getting worse at a rapid pace. It permeates every single aspect of life and has ruined everything it touches. I need out!

Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves said...

One hike I recommend for Bags and his hot lady.

The Loch, Glass Lake and Sky Pond...

Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves said...

The only reason CO stinks of leftism -- the people who move here to escape wretched blue states.

Conservatives and libertarians are welcome. The rest of yas - get out!

Thanks for the hiking suggestion, April. It looks perfect.

Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves said...

Sure! I'd suggest Lone Eagle Peak, but it's a slog.

The Loch is close to where you are staying. and it's lovely!

One new law passed here: We have to collect samples of the rainwater runoff from our 4 acre parking lot whenever it rains, then have it analyzed by a lab for, among other things, suspended solids (dirt). We are not allowed to wash our vehicles on our property, because that would send dirt into the ditch along the railroad tracks behind our property. We are not allowed to wash anything unless we collect the water afterward and handle it as wastewater requiring permits and expensive regulation with severe penalties. I repeat: we can't wash the dirt back into the environment from where it came, because it would end up in the railroad ditch through which a dirty train runs multiples times per day spewing oil and dirt. When it rains, said ditch is a torrent of mud and trash. We wouldn't want to get that dirty. Needless to say, the website that manages this program for the state went down the first day, and you can't change your password without creating a whole new account and these accounts have substantial legal consequences for us. Genius!

BTW, every business in the state has to do this now if they have anything like a parking lot. We have to report every month and of course pay fees and pay for all the people who will manage this great new program until they retire with full benefits and pay for life. We also had to pay a consultant thousands to set up our system and train our people to sample dirt in rainwater runoff. Worth every penny, I'm sure.

Madness, Bagoh.

Sadly, people in government don't have anything better to do that think up new ways to waste time and money.

Methadras said...

bags and hot ladies. I'm not seeing a connection.

April, governments sole purpose for existence is to think up for way to separate your money from you and funnel it into their pocket. Fuck, give me the mafia any day over these POS's.

I'll be in Telluride the weekend after Labor Day for a wedding. A young couple I know asked me to officiate. I was quite touched. As we know from the TOP narcissist, a couple can marry themselves in Colorado. I think I'm going to be more like an MC. I've seen much of your great state, but never been to Telluride.

Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves said...

ndspin - Telluride is gorgeous. Beware, the locals tend snooty and the place is ultra-leftwing. Lots of big money.

Take the free chair-lift up to the top. The view of the Wilson group/Lizard head is breath-taking. Drive back into the box canyon to see the waterfall. Of the two- the chairlift ride was better (IMO)

April: Madness is the perfect word to name what Bago described. A sane person could never make that stuff up.

@bagoh20: I lived in CO off and on in the 80's and 90's. One underrated hike I really enjoyed was up along a long-abandoned narrow gauge rail bed to the eastern portal of the Alpine Tunnel. The tunnel itself has long since caved in but you can see where it went into the mountain. If you approach from the eastern side, you are treated to the remains of an old ghost town. The hike is easy as it follows an old railroad bed.

For a better challenge, try Longs Peak. I did it successfully once and failed a second time.

bagoh20 said...

Thanks Chickelit, We'll check it out.

ndspinelli said...

April, Thanks for the info. The wedding itself is outside up on the mountain, the reception in town. I'm told we don't need to drive, just gondola up and down. The groom told me, "But, the gondola stops running @ midnight so if you party after that it's a cab ride." That won't be a problem for this old timer. I've been to Martha's Vineyard many times. That's where my large family chose to have reunions. I can vacation w/ liberals w/ no problem. Always enjoyed my time on MV. Shit, I live 8 months out of the year in Madison.

Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves said...

You'll have a blast, nd.

Bagoh - don't do Long's Peak. unless you like to suffer. While it's an amazing feeling to bag a 14er, Longs aptly named. It's looooong. Plan to leave hotel at 2-3 AM just to get to the trail head. It's a long day of hiking. Bring lots of water and food. Plan on a near-death experience near the narrows/key hole. (or something - I've not done it)

I did bag Handies Peak. It was freezing on top but amazing. wooop.

Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves said...

**RE Longs: Plan to get to the trailhead by 2-3 AM to start the hike. This is to avoid the usual afternoon thunder&lighting that is not a sure thing, but is a definite probability each day here in the high country.
You want to reach the top by 11:00-noon at the latest, so you have time to descent. Now if the day is perfect, the hours to the top can be stretched. Weather is always an unknown variable.

Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves said...

Testing. A blue jewel in the sun.

Was that picture taken before the EPA makeover?

Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves said...

Right before, I think.

I just love how the EPA and all their various butt-coverers are falling all over themselves to re-assure everyone the water is fine and dandy.

No way that would be the spin if the spill was a private entity.
