Remember Cinderella City, Villa Italia, and Celebrity Sports Center.

Know what the Mouse Trap was.

Some of you may remember our cabin near Pine. We had a caboose out front for a guest house. We owned it fom the early 70's until the early 90's. County road 126 now. The area looks nothing like that now, cabin is still there. We dressed up as Roy and Gene and had our guns and holsters on, shooting cars as they drove past. We would be on top of the caboose. Those days were fun. People would smile, honk and wave. (now it probably wouldnt go over as well)

When Grand Junction had the only mall on the western slope and much of eastern Utah. Well before there was even a Walmart.

I also remember when Colorado was where I thought I could live my whole life.

Even back then we blamed Californians on everything. Good times.

Glenwood Canyon when it was a two lane road along the river.

Dated a girl that lived in Glenwood in the early 70's when I got out of the service and went back to CU in Boulder.
I would get off work Friday afternoon and drive to Glenwood via that road and drive back on Sunday.
Rough, lots of pot holes, no shoulders, and traffic like the cities today.
But, I enjoyed the week-ends fishing!
