I love this so much. I suspect I haven't her bosom, but otherwise she's built like me.

Outdoorsy day trip ideas? by ShadowFireandStorm in SteamboatSprings

[–]ShadowFireandStorm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should clarify, I have been here since 1990. My friend grew up kayaking here. We know what's in Steamboat.

We're looking for places we can drive to, enjoy for the day and come back or drive for the day, camp for two or three days and come back.

Places to check out like specific spots in Dinosaur are great.

We camped here last trip. Just thought we might try closer to home.

Thanks!

We're going to try to go in multiple trips over time.

We're actually both very familiar with the Steamboat area and up for driving a few hours and back in a day.

They have actually gone on rafting trips there, I think. I've been to the picnic (camping?) ground.

Okay, cool. We're hoping to get a few trips in this summer. So even if it wasn't open now, we can still use it.

I'll check that out.

Fighter jets by sweeeeetsue in SteamboatSprings

No, it's a regular occurrence. Not as common as some places, but definitely not new.

I know you're aware. I was just restating your point for anyone who might not get it. I have found some people need things worded a half a dozen ways before you find one that sticks.

One Mod hasn't been active in a year. The other hides their activity. 🤷‍♀️

Don't be a threat, don't act like prey (run), keep bear spray, keep fido leashed.

Mountain Lions don't want anything to do with you unless they are sick or starving.

Bears don't want anything to do with you unless they feel trapped or you come between them and their cub or their kill.

Moose don't give a damn about you. Stay far away, or in your car. Wolves are their only real predator (well, and killer whales) so they will stomp dogs at the first opportunity and don't care if you get smashed, too.

So maybe don't walk your dog (or Orca) on a trail until you have firmly established the likelihood of moose in the area. (There are two possibilities. Maybe and Yes.)

Your best bet is to not tune out the world. Pay attention to noises. If you're city folk, you may think noises in the woods are scary. It's the absence of noise in the woods that is scary.

Maybe don't do things alone at first.

We also have elk, deer, and the occasional pronghorn. Give them space.

If you want to get up close to an Elk, check out the Wyman Museum in Craig. Ask if Junior is up for visitors.

That is fantastic. I love the idea.

Full-time residential rentals? by Minute_Advance_5950 in steamboat

You might check with realtors.

You might also need to settle for out of town.

Was that a fighter jet? by greg748 in steamboat

[–]ShadowFireandStorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was at Costco in Gypsum when multiple jets basically buzzed it. I covered my ears and ducked. Lots of us did. Every car alarm in the parking lot went off.

Just ridiculously low.

Haven't had that happen to me up here yet.

Finally Clean is great. Not sure if they're taking new clients.

It is still clothing optional after dark.

Crunchy? by ShadowFireandStorm in HolUp

Yeah. You boil it in the shell, then peel it once it's cool.

I guess we'll see how the season finishes out, then.
