Wicked Beautiful Scenery

ALL at Acadia National Park....this is what she was looking at and what she loved about the park....but it wasn't a Park back then...:

Acadia is a great park. I love to explore the Carriage Trails, which are amazing feats of engineering.

I love visiting MDI. I've camped there a few times. My favorite is the campground at the end of Somes Sound. In high school or junior high, I took a scientific schooner trip around the area and down to Cranberry I. My bro was married in SW Harbor overlooking Somes Sound.

Climbed it.

Climbed all of those rocks around the falls (not the falls themselved)

I've climbed on the base of El Cap but haven't climbed a route all the way up to the summit. Its BIG.

Lived in Denver for 10 years. I loved Boulder, spent 4-6 days a week there. Used to bring my Afghan Hound to run at Chautauqua Park in the snow, he loved it(I never picked up his shit though). The Brewing Market was my favorite coffee house. Their Mountain Chai was very good. The Falafel King was great. Nick and Willie's pizza was outstanding. But...... I hated the spoiled, ultra whiner, naive, hypocritical, libby CU students, what a pain in the ass they were.

Also..... Red Rocks was the greatest place to see a concert.

When did you live in Boulder? I lived there in 2004-2005, and went to CU, the student body president was a Republican and so was most of the student government (which I didn't understand why the political spectrum was part of the student elections?). Most of the student were right-leaning. I had expected CU to be a liberal haven, but I was surprised to find that it wasn't, well, at least when it came to the students. It wasn't a conservative school by any means, but the student body was certainly moderate to moderately conservative. There was the student backlash that happened when what's-his-name wrote about 9/11 and the little Eikmans, death threats to one of the openly gay professors, and shouts and graffiti of the word ****** at the basketball, football, and around the African studies building.

The Mountains Sun makes the best beer; if you ever get a chance to return to Boulder check it out.

I didn't live in Boulder, I just spent a lot of time there. I worked for a huge art supply store in Denver and a lot of my accounts were in Boulder.
I moved to Denver in 1986 and left in late 1996. Boulder was known as the "Socialist Republic of Boulder" and CU was extraordinarily liberal. Of course the hypocrisy was pretty thick in the "Berkley of Colorado", the only blacks allowed in town played football and basketball for CU and they were constantly getting arrested for rape or other violence. The only hispanics allowed were the bus boys and maids.

I guess it's changed completely since I've been gone.
