|  | | | If you know about that then you know about this. Cool spot. Peeped it before when I first got out here BUT the main drag had construction going on for which seemed like forever. A new four laner form two if that helps. Heres another hint. It's down the way from a road who shares the same name as a very popular spot out here in CO. Abandoned building/offices, a chemical tower and hordes (ok maybe not hordes) of construction vehicles and too many used giant utility poles to throw a stick at. I got rolled up on by a kid in a security shirt. Easy to talk to. He didn't much care, just let me go on with my business. Even asked him if I could come back and he said yes. Spent around an hour and a half on the property and was not bothered.

| | | | Nice shots. Retro and I have checked this spot out a few times, but today was the first time we encountered security... Good to know that he's harmless if spoken to...

| | | | We went here about a month or two ago and it was fenced in pretty good with lots of signs. we decided it wasn't worth it. it's nice to know that it's ok to be there. thanks for the tip!

Geneboy,
I'm assuming you're coming from Boulder, so:
1. Hop on 36 towards Denver (about 20 miles)
2. Take exit 1 to merge onto I-76 E toward Ft. Morgan
3. Take exit 115 for CO 63 toward Atwood
4. Left at CO 63 North
5. Right at US-6/Front Ave
6. After about 6.5 miles, turn left.
Hope that handout was helpful.

| | | | This definitely piqued my curiosity. I think I've deduced where it is (mostly due to do dora's post). If it is where I think it is, that shot straight up to the #1 place I want to go. It looks kind of like there's something to the northeast of it, too. Or is it just a trashy, yet inhabited lot?

That's for you to find out yourself! ;)
Seriously, report back buddy! I LOVE to see how others view the places I've been!
