Comment on Pawnee Grasslands: A Kingdom Unto Its Own by Charlie C

No point in going out there anymore…from the moment you leave New Raymer and make your way along the Pioneer Scenic Byway all you are going to see are gas wells and huge Multi-pad wells (on National Land!!!) and an unbelievable amount of truck traffic going in and out of the wells so the roads have been made way worse than I have ever seen.
For the first almost 75 miles of our drive up to and past the Buttes there is hardly a space to stop without looking at wells and traffic. If you (like me) used to take the little side roads and follow the washes…forget it! They are all gas access roads now. I could not find a single place to drive in as we passed through the whole of eastern section going west.
100 miles of driving and we saw two antelope and zero birds of prey.
They should start taking down the scenic byway signs soon…it’s just a cruel sad joke that these companies have been allowed to do this to hundreds of square miles of what was pristine prairie, it’s obvious that they (Gas & Oil) are working 24/7 putting these rigs in place before the Environmental impact study can come out (due in 2014).
It’s is an absolute disgrace that this has been allowed to happen,this land can never be returned to the condition it was in…it has been for all intent and purpose been defiled and destroyed.

Comment on Colorado’s Mountain Air Ranch: The Bare Truth by Jason

1. Not all backyards offer the privacy so we don’t “offend” people with your biases. They also don’t offer the societal connection that a nudist camp or beach offers. We’re not asking you to join us unless you want to.
2. The only thing sick about a naked child is in your own mind. They are one of the most beautiful artforms known to mankind and have a natural view on freedoms that most adults would envy.
3. It’s pedophile not petafile and the the population of pedophiles in the nudist community is a lot lower than in the textile community as family camps are restricted to families usually, not singles.

This sounds like such a cool tour – I would love to see a picture of the inside of that bus and those comfy seats.

Comment on Idaho Springs: Experience the Quiet Side of Colorado by Pam Falcioni

You might want to re-thing your recommendation of the Columbine Inn. We tried to stay there on September 17, 2012 but the owner kicked us out because he could not get his wifi to work. Said I did not know how to operate a computer and that he did not want us staying there. We packed up and left, confused at what occurred, and very embarrassed. Fortunately I have since read online of him doing this to other people.

Place looks very nice, room was clean and appeared comfortable, but there is no way I could recommend anyone staying there as the owner has this history of kicking people out for no reason.

This is a good article, thank you but I thought I would leave an update that Red and Green Minerals is no longer in business. They have an eBay store I believe you can find the info on there website but as of about 2 months ago they closed.

We are going to have to go through Montrose on the 20th on our way home from Railfest in Silverton. Hope there is a way to avoid the bicycles.Will a route for traffic be marked? We usually stop to eat in Montrose, but I guess we’ll go on down to Delta. We’ll leave the streets and the restaurants for others : )

I would like information as to the genealogy Tom Golden that Golden, Colorado was named after. I would like to know where he was born and buried and if he had any siblings. Was he ever in the New York, New Jersey and Missouri area? I would like to know if he is related to any of the people from the above listed states? Thank you!
