No. Last year's fire came close, but GotG is just fine. Enjoy!
Sweet, got to get the wife and 5 girls out of the house.....
So the weather guessers are calling for 50% chance of rain in the springs tomorrow, does anyone think we will get rained out?
I say its about an even chance you do or don't then.Quote:

Depends on the time of day you hit it up. Storms are set to be just like to day, form up on Pikes about 3 ish and then push off from there. Got a couple good dumps this afternoon/evening.Quote:

I would go early like everyone else said. Not to be a stick in the mud but please use a coat and not an umbrella, our recent storms seem to have a lot of lightning and I don't think it would be safe to be holding a lighting rod above your head!Quote:

They are inside dogs and would probably play in the rain and get all muddy, like dogs do, and that would not make the wife very happy.Quote:

Also, well behaved and leashed dogs are allowed in the trading post (including the cafe). We enjoy getting lunch there and eating out on the patio with our dog.
Glad we waited, the dogs would have had a really bad day today.
How was today for them?Quote:

Made it down today, had a great time and even the 3 year old enjoyed it.
Wife made it clear she would much rather live in the Springs than in Greeley.
People want to live in Greeley? On purpose? LOL
Damn this touchscreen.
