I was there for a week back 30 years ago.

We came back with a trunk load of Coors and went to the Coors factory.

OMG, wasn't the whole plot of Smokey and the Bandit about smuggling Coors into another state? (I could be wrong about that)

I grew up near the Jolly Rancher factory and on a good day, if the wind was just right, you could smell the green apple or watermelon or whatever they were making that day, in the air.

Oh wow. I love Jolly Ranchers.

I just hear Ft Collins has the safest drivers in the US.

A young high skool student by the name of Easton LaChappelle from Colorado got into 3D printing in a big way. So y'all have even more to be proud of.

It wouldn't have been smuggling, because there is no law against transporting beer from one state into another. As I recall, the Bandit went from a southern state to Texas, bought Lone Star beer and returned with it within a specified time.

You've nearly got it, mate. They went from Georgia, to Texas to buy many cases of Coor's, then back to Georgia. At the time Coor's had no distribution east of Texas so no taxes were paid on Coor's transported or sold there. It was technically bootlegging.

I love Colorado. I'm heading there next week just like I do every year about this time. We usually rough it on the ground but this year we have a cabin booked near Salida for about half of the trip. It features what the owner calls a "Cowboy Hotub". The mere implication is worth the drive.

 

[neci]

I called that one a while back. Still, real estate is way too expensive in that part of the world.

A Cowboy Hot tub is one that is heated by burning wood. Salida is a beautiful town, my ex-husband spent a weekend in jail there.

So funny that people can still dig into their memories and bring up the plot of Smokey and the Bandit, even if it comes out in tiny scraps at a time.

St. Peter and I can not be the only Colorado residents on this board, can we?

They can have Cheadle too.

 

[LiFeNdEaTh]

i wanna goto colorado just to grow some weed fosure.

 

[*HeadlessBarbie]

They can have Cheadle too.

Why? I think he is a fine actor, and is attached to no scandal that I am aware of.

Dog and Beth are both obvious douches. Right before their show got cancelled, they hunted down a "fugitive" in my town. They pepper sprayed the shit out of this dude, then marched him into the front lobby of the Sheriff's Dept. to turn him in, without properly decontaminating the guy.

When complaints were made about this, Dog and Beth got all pissed off and stated that Dog might just decide to run for the office of Sheriff in our county. Empty threats from an empty head.
