< on 10/28/2007 6:33 AM >
|  | | | Just left Albuquerque to return to Colorado Springs. While the 505 was fun, though I never got into the sanitarium (boo), I'm looking for spots in the springs and people to join me since all of my cohorts have moved out of state or live up north in Fort Collins. Anybody down?
Down with the world in which the possibility of starvation has been bought by the certainty that we will die of boredom. |

| | | | Another Colo Spgs UEer here, I'm sure we'll run in to each other in VOT or one of our other medeocre drains. There better than nothing. Have you heard of the canon city tunnels. I'll thread on them here soon. Anyhow, good tunnels are supposed to be under CC, Downtown, and in the Broadmoor. There is a great sandstone block tunnel at the Navigators, but it is only a hundred yards of so long, and highly guarded, but it is unlocked on their public tour, so...

| | | | Im in Colorado Springs, a relatively new UEer but I come from a background of Caving and rock climbing and I find "people shapes" easier to navigate than "nature shapes." Message me sometime if you wanna get somethin' together.

| | | | Also, though its not necessarily UE, if anyone out here is interested in natural caving, we can set up a trip, just get in touch with me. I can even get into a couple of the ones with bombproof iron and concrete gates on 'em.

Sometimes it is doing exactly that, slogging through a long, wet stinking hole in the ground, it's UE without the 'urban.'

| | | | It seems like Colorado Springs has a pretty interesting UE community, in comparison to some other places. All the more reason for me to be interested in CC for post-secondary.

The ones that are left are down many miles of 4WD only roads. True ghost towns are a rapidly disappearing aspect of Colorado history.

Yeah. What few do exist tend to require hours of travel down crazy roads and then not much is left of them. These days, if you want ghost towns, it's all about the big flat empty states where nobody wants to live anyway! Not many rich people are building summer homes in North Dakota (for some reason).

| | | | I agree to the crapiness of Colorado ghost towns - you'll seriously travel forever up some crappy road to stare at some rotten wood and some foundations. A good example of this is Independence which happens to be up Independence Pass south of Aspen. We went there because it was "cool" and it sucked.
A cool "ghost" I guess is Nevadaville - which has like 3 residents but there are a crap load of old mine buildings there.
Northern Nevada has some cool ghost towns - mainly because no one in their mind wants to live in the middle of nowhere and if you're rich you move to the Tahoe area. Most of the Colorado ghost towns that are worth a crap are more or less semi-ghost towns.
