Front Range Cement Factory

A Cement Factory in an undisclosed location (that's how it works here, right?). I've been through this several times. Any of you Colorado veterans been here before? Here are a few photos:

Neat place, about all I found in Boulder when I was living there unfortunately. Did you seriously buy it, Duke? I thought the city of Boulder owned the site...

It is known as the Valmont Mill it was built in the mid 1930's and shut down in 1942,reopened in 1944 to mill Fluorspar untill 1972 then new owner bought it in 1974 and ran it until 1994 then went into tax lean then i got it ..But its a long story about my owership

It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes.

I would totally go too if you'd let me.

"Is that the entrance to the drain?" "Yeah" "It's right behind the police station." "Oh. Maybe we should go to a different one..."

I've been wanting to check out the Valmont mill for a while. Why didn't you mention it last time when those kids filmed that crappy video where they thought they saw ghosts and freaked out in there.

I'm pretty sure this showed up here a year ago or so but I can't seem to find it now.
