The last year I lived in Gunnison, it didn't get above 20 below for January and February. At night it got down to 40 below. But just drive to Almont and it was above zero. Inversion they call it.Hey, Gunnison is redneck as hell, but it still beats the shit out of the front range any day. Crested Butte has great skiing, and Gothic is just north between the Butte and Aspen...Awesome beaver ponds to catch brookies. But Monarch has the best snow. I know places along the Gunnison river that still has 5 pound brownies. And it's still got plenty of trophy royal elk. Pitkin and Tin cup have great beaver ponds too.Born in Colorado Springs, raised in Gunnison. Lived in South Fork the last time I was there. Twist a fatty and go throw a line in the head waters of the Rio Grande, you'll be glad you did.^^^Perfect example of ignorance trying to act like he's not. This is why cons want to destroy education.
FYI...Washington state, Washington D.C., and "red state" Alaska have legalized it to. It's inevitable.
But many cons would rather get their oxycodone from BIG PHARMA...like Rush Limpballs.
I can't even understand what, if any, rationale he has for his position on the subject beyond just an unreasoned emotional response to marijuana. That he doesn't even attempt to explain only supports my view.
Marijuana will inevitably be legal in most if not all states. Mississppi and Oklahoma might take a few decades - and there are still dry counties, bit for the most part recreational marijuana is coming.
Doesn't mean one has to consume it. I don't.
Raised in Gunni? You dirt bag! South Fork is some beautiful country. I hiked from Highway 7, I think, along the Continental Divide Trail to Wolf Creek Pass. The Chama River headwaters is unbelievable.
Monarch is my favorite place to ski in Colorado. Gunni isn't so red-neck anymore; lots of young hippie/mountain-sports types up there these days. Western State has that Outdoor Leadership program and so lots of privileged kids who did Outward Bound or similar programs have settled there in Gunnison. I have friends there who are big time white water rafters, kayakers, mountainbikers, etc. I love the Elk Range and the San Juans aren't far either. As a climber, with the Black Canyon just up the road, I love the place. Last year my lady and I hiked up the Middle Fork of the Cimmaron. Just amazing.
