There's great mtn biking 10 minutes from the folks house and great road biking right out the front door. The river in town provides plenty of entertainment during the hot months. Phenomenal boating opportunities nearby, as well as hiking, camping and climbing. Yeah, the skiing is mediocre at best, but there's plenty to make up for it.

The skiing is too far away and I probably spent too much money on plane tickets this year. However it's just about paradise for everything else I like to do. Thinking about it actually makes me want it to be summer. I've got a serious case of transplant pride. I love this place.

LOL! Actually ROFLMAO!!! Look, I get exactly the same response to folks from Paris, London, Moscow... the list is endless. Everyone things that "their" large City is "The City" - Ethnocentrism at its finest! I'm happy to participate.Quote:

Population of New York City = 8,143,000
Population of San Francisco = 739,000
Population Ratio 11:1
Tourists to visit New York City = 43,800,000
Tourists to visit San Francisco = 15,000,000
Tourist Ratio 2.9:1
While I'll give you that NY has more Tourist, thank god, San Francisco has a massive amount per person who lives here... almost 4 times as many... with more coming every day....
But, I'd like you all to know that it is TERRIBLE being here. It really sucks. Please please PLEASE stay away!
(BTW - what's with the WOMEN in the R&T. I used to work across the street and in my day that NEVER would have happened! What the hell is New York coming to??!?)

shit telemike, why did you move so many times?
surfing, skiing, climbing, school, love, work, love
Born in Flint, MI (only lived in MI 4 years)
Grew up in Longmont, CO (great place to grow up, but didn't think it was that great then!)
Now living in Golden, CO (and loving it)
Would love to move to the mountains someday...
Grew up in Rice Lake, WI. Moved to Fergus Falls, MN. Went to high school in Fargo, ND. There's been a lot of talk of "The City". Fargo is what NYC wants to be. It's like the Istanbul of the Midwest.
Since leaving Fargo, I have lived in Grand Forks, ND. Winston-Salem, NC. Fayetteville, NC. Anchorage, AK. Tacoma, WA. Charlottesville, VA. And now -- Waialua/Haleiwa HI. Despite too damn many years in Nodak, that is what I would call home if anyone asked me. Since I left, I've definitely lived in some really cool places and seriously enjoyed moving around. That said, the only property I own is in the Kootenays of B.C. Gotta keep my eye on the prize!
Hometown is nothing special but home mountain for me is Alpy. Love it for its location, 45 mins away, hate it for the crowds on Ch 2, has a good atmosphere and generally a very chill place to be. Plus Alpy fries at lunch are amazing.

Not much too this little town on the banks of the Cumberland River. Lots of bad stuff going on there now with meth and such but I had a good time . No crowds and lots of National Forest to romp in. I don't think I could go back there now but I am still in love with the land. I miss the biodiversity. I was shell shocked when I moved to Boulder, CO.

Spent allot of time in the Dan Boone National Forest. No crowds just me a my buds hiking, camping and fishing. I really came to love the outdoors there.

The forest there is like a fckn jungle

Just about 40 minutes down the road is The Big South Fork. Spent allot summers there camping and backpacking. Finally went back last year and did this section with all my buds in a raft. Made it all clean except for this one "Double Drop" it dumped us all in the water. We got slammed into the big rock on river left. I am dreaming of going back in getting it done in my kayak.

The summers just rule here. Nice climate, great water skiing, sailing on Lake Superior is within 5 minutes, decent mountain biking. Hard to beat living here.
Plenty of snow, too.

Need I say more?
Lakewood Colorado is the fourth most populous city in the State of Colorado and the 164th most populous city in the United States. The City of Lakewood was incorporated in 1969. At the time of incorporation the city population was already over 90,000, making Lakewood one of the largest cities, at the time of original incorporation, in the history of the United States.
I grew up just a few blocks from Lakewood's #2 Tourist attraction. The 2.99 steak breakfast is legendary. I do not recommend ordering the open-face turkey sandwich when on mushrooms, any other time it is quite good.

Most South Park watchers seem amazed that this place actually exists.
My Dad worked at the Federal center. The most Goverment offices in one place outside of D.C.
I used to have the run of the place and it is pretty cool some of the stuff located in there. The USGS was a neat place and their topo-map room was the amazing.
My Dad will still pop by the USGS before Christmas because they give away free topo maps that are outdated. He uses them to wrap presents.

Lakewood was home to one of the original shopping malls, still one of the neatest malls I have ever been in. The old Villa Italia. (Now the Belmar Center)

Born and raised in Waco, Texas. Yes, that Waco. It was surprisingly a pretty nice place to grow up as long as you're on the right side of town. When I go home to visit, I see someone I know every place I go.
