How did you get to Tincup without going through Colorado Springs?
This about 20 years ago. I came up from Taos to Buena Vista.....I then made a left.....I four wheeled it to Tincup, Lake City, Ouray, Silverton and other places I've long forgotten.

Brad Hawpe finally got me some points tonight!

I also caught a BP homerun from one of your reserve righthanded batters, but I have no idea who beacuse they were all wearing their jackets over their uni numbers like it was cold or something... I thought Coloradans were hardy folk....

Oh, dear. You're playing a game, and Dan and I are messing it up. He's listing everyplace he's ever been, and I'm reminiscing.

Sorry.
Well, I missed the rules and/or instructions...but what else is new?

I'm OCD about following rules. :D

I don't want people thinking I'm changing them midstream or making up my own...which apparently I am at the moment.

We are. But we grow all our baseball players in Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, California, Florida, etc. etc., so they're not as hardy as we are.

I did a lot of four wheeling/fire road driving. I visited a lot of ghost towns too. I'd have to find my maps from that era. I know I was in Delta and Montrose (played racquetball in their community center), Gunnison, Four Corners, Eagle, Steamboat and Aspen. I'll let Silver add some adjectives.

Chickenline is a rafting term -- it's the line that runs around the raft that you can grab onto if you're afraid of falling out.

Hardy souls like SteelersFan just fall out.
