Playing an instrument is just like riding a bike...you never forget. Not having picked up my guitar in nearly 20 years I too was VERY amazed recovering 80% of my skills after only a few months .
"old fashioned"??? Good music never dies. It just gets re-discovered.
In my high school days there were always testosterone fist-fights in the alley behind the school. Fun to watch but I never participated
My son got is Black Belt when he was 12 years old so I never worried too much about him taking care of himself.
Mossie, I forgot to tell you. I lived in Steamboat Springs, Hayden, and Kremmling. We used to go up through Steamboat Lake, past Hahn's peak Lake, Through Whiskey Park and in to Encampment Wyoming. That was some gorgeous scenery, fishing and hunting. Encampment was a nice little town....very old West.
I loved to ride my motorcycle up to Granby, then to Walden, then into Wyoming and Encampment. If I recall, there was a museum and small mining town reconstruction there.
Ain't that way no more as far as traffic is concerned. All the hippies and starving artists moved to Steamboat.
Thank you all for describing the many reasons we live in Encampment. Hardly any traffic UNTIL THIS YEAR! 13 out of 15 campers going up the mountain were Colo plates, the GREEN invasion. Also many from down your way buying up any real estate available. The local agents in Saratoga and here said they are out of real estate to sell! The people I've met from Co are pleasant and who wouldn't want to get out of that people infested northern colo? People in Walden think they're in Wyo LOL. The only problem being they love to move here then want to change it into the place they just fled.! Mostly the wives. .When they realize the closest Wally World is nearly a hundred mi away in any direction and they can't see the Golden Arches they become unhappy. We DON'T NEED curb and gutter, we get along fine with our gravel streets. Last census 443 but climbing now. I think when SHTF we are in as good a place as you can find, Many retired veterans who are "well heeled" as they used to say . We know all of our neighbors and have a ready list of numbers to call to muster. Winter Mo only one highway in and out plus we have the high ground...Mossie
The way they make it is to die for. I'm planning on another trip up there this year hopefully. You just can't get enough of their stromboli....I believe you would love it.
Ron, back in 1986, driving from Denver to Colorado Springs on I-25 there was no traffic to speak of. It was like driving on I-90 in northern Wyoming today. You would see a car or two every so often. Today, even driving to Pueblo from Trinidad traffic has more than quadrupled. The drug trade is flourishing in Colorado, unfortunately.
