Telluride Defies Real Estate Crash?
Asking 2 mil like it's nothing..
You wouldn't believe the asking price for a 699,000 mountain lodge, except that it's in Telluride, Colorado, home to super-rich suckers from all over the world & so surrounded by 12-14 thousand foot peaks, they might-could survive ww3. Does that make a 700 thou home worth 1.9 mil?
Bicycle traffic explodes, locals not happy..
Everywhere you look, there are bicyclists (not bikers, bikers ride motorcycles). Aside from the usual spandex garb, they pull little trailers with pup tents, pets, and kids. A new Colorado law allows drivers to cross even a double solid line in order to avoid some, who travel side by side, impeding the orderly flow of cages (cars), and this is what has the local population pretty upset. At least they're not complaining about those awful..."Bikers"!
Lots of Motorcycles, Too:
We're everywhere. Mountain bikes, all terrain, hondas, harleys, zuki's, kawais, you name it. Lots of motorcycle traffic. Either the gas here sucks, or the 8,000 feet of elevation is killing the chopper. Prob a little of both. The harley strains a little, but overall, runs well. Air is so thin, you will wake up panting for breath at night. Ditto just walking across the campground for a bucket of water, or even bending over to tie your shoe. On the other hand, you can put on a pretty decent buzz on just one beer!
Trout vs Beer?
Day before yesterday, I didn't catch a single fish. Had maybe 3 bites all day. How could this be? I didn't drink any beer that day. Yesterday, to prove beer had nothing to do with being "snakebitten", once again attempted to catch Rainbow trout while sober. Caught a stringer full of really fat 'bows, so there you have it, fans of imbibing.. Trout actually may be caught in rapid sucession, if you are sober (although it may be more fun the other way).
ABM Gifts Flag Couple:
We wuz' just in a giving mood, I guess. Older retired couple heading home, got a nice 10-count bag of dressed out, rocky mtn rainbow trout. The lady nearly dropped the tablecloth she was packing up. Moral: Be nice to nice people...There ain't too many of 'em left.
