Nice pics GronK, We drove through Pueblo this summer, coming back from Canon City. Looks like a very nice town. I get a very peaceful feeling when I am in that part of the world.
Pueblo is a nice place to live. I grew up here and couldn't wait to get away to see the world. I came back for my 45th highschool reunion and decided to stay. It's like an oversized small town.
And besides, it's an hour and a half from Spyderco Nirvana in Golden!

Yea, it's funny how that works. When you're young you have plans to change the world and just want to get away. Then when you get older the only thing you want to change is your underwear and you've got no place to go and don't feel like going if you did. And we also stopped at Nirvana this summer as well.
10 points for reading comprehension! :D I've been dragging a Forester around to shows ever since I couldn't pass up the good price when it was discontinued. It's way too pretty to use hard and I don't have a need for a big chopper anyway. I figured sooner or later I'd find someone who loved it and would pay or trade. At the show this weekend there was a "stranger", a fellow who was just visiting from the midwest who had the shiny new Lum in his case. After a bit of respectful haggling we traded even. I 'spect we both got what we wanted. He had that Spydiegleam in his eye when he saw the Forester and I've wanted a Lum forever, not being able to afford the high price of an original and missing out on the sprint run.
And where did I run to when I left Pueblo? Air Force basic and tech school then Mactan Island in the Philippines. Spent better part of five years bouncing around between Mactan, Saigon, Clark AB, Cam Rhan Bay and Da Nang with interesting visits to other locals. In fact I picked up a dagger in Cebu that I carried most of the time in country.
