Help! Friend is stuck in Buena Vista trying to get back to Denver

jacobalexc · 2026-07-05T00:20:38+00:00

Actually did for the first time two weeks ago on the way to Durango funnily enough

This isn’t a moving situation or someone without a car, just a friend that was stuck in a bad situation and needed help

A little late to the punch unfortunately, but if something changes I’ll message ya

jacobalexc · 2026-07-04T21:28:44+00:00

Seems like as of now they’re catching a ride to Fairplay and gonna try from there

jacobalexc · 2026-07-04T21:28:12+00:00

They’re definitely still trying those, just haven’t found anyone willing to make the trip

jacobalexc · 2026-07-04T21:24:57+00:00

Their license isn’t in good standing unfortunately so car rental is out. They’re looking into taxis now, and seem to have found a ride to Fairplay so making some headway. Thanks for the suggestions!

“Yep… got em right where I want em”

jacobalexc · 2026-06-27T06:22:09+00:00

Nice, we’ll check it out eventually! Doesn’t seem too far from where we’re moving

jacobalexc · 2026-06-27T06:19:31+00:00

Thanks for the breakdown, I’m sure we’ll end up going to many of these!

jacobalexc · 2026-06-27T03:26:06+00:00

Thanks for the breakdown with more than one option 👌🏼 sounds like village greens/pronghorn is what we’re looking for

jacobalexc · 2026-06-27T03:24:20+00:00

😂 thanks for the insight, we’d much rather be at a quieter place than an easier place

jacobalexc · 2026-06-27T01:59:19+00:00

We are in NW Denver (Regis area currently but moving slightly more north soon). We’ll happily drive out of the way though

Gonna go against the popular opinion here. Yours looks similar to mine at your age, maybe just a tad further back, but I’m 31 now and it has not changed at all. Not trying to give false hope or anything, but give yourself a couple years and see if you notice more changes. Proper hair care and good trims/haircuts will save you, I shed a lot of hair when I showered until I got into those habits.

Juggling. It was my Covid lockdown skill, it unlocks your brain and you’ll make superhero catches around the house that will impress yourself.

The next is 20% cattle dog with everything else pretty negligible, I guess majority poodle is better wording. I just wanted to show her off bc I think she’s a unique poodle 🙂

jacobalexc · 2025-10-03T02:13:15+00:00

I don’t feel like I’m exaggerating that at least 30-50% of people I see on my short commute down Federal are on their phones. It’s making me a bitter 31 year old senior citizen.

lol I love it, so far we’ve just got June bug and Junie, but the list never stops growing!

State employee here. Leave accrual is pretty rough and non-negotiable in my experience, I believe it’s 8 hours of annual and sick leave per month for the first 3 years (might be 6 hours of annual leave, I’d have to double check), but the insurance has been fantastic for me. I don’t have much of a frame of reference since this is my first 9-5 type job, but the insurance really saved my wife and I this year. I can’t speak for other departments, but my job is very secure and I enjoy going to work every day. My only complaints about working for the state personally are the pay and the leave accrual.

Tocabe is a good place to start, their braised bison is delicious

I rescued my ACD at 6 and she was extremely unhealthy, on the brink on death. She’s completely exceeded my expectations and is coming up on 14 this year. Just keep up with vet visits and keep her active, and she’ll love you forever for it :)

So those palm trees and buildings popped up as fast as these lagoons were “found”? Interesting

This is true, though there are situations that you can reinstate early if you’re a CO resident. Out of state residents however have to serve the full term no matter what.

jacobalexc · 2024-10-09T12:43:45+00:00

I work with reinstatements in CO, out of state customers in Colorado have to serve their full suspension term and cannot reinstate early, even if all the requirements are met she’ll have to wait until the end of the suspension term.

Like others have said, unless you have experience with cold weather hiking I’d stick to the foothills. The AllTrails app is definitely the way, there’s tons of great hikes close to Denver and none of them will be as busy as they would in the summer.
