    and of course, raw material to work with- I've got some steel, I've heard that leaf springs make great material for forging into knives...

    about 20mi SW of COS... where hwy 115 and hwy 50 come together (that probably isn't helping)

    I'm north of Penrose- if it were a town, I wouldn't be in the town limits, I technically live in "Fremont county", but that confuses people even more
