I hear you there Rani. Some of you might remember I lived in Canon City for a little over ten years and pretty much finished growing up there. Every summer I'd work at the tourist trap right before you get to the Royal Gorge Bridge,
Buckskin Joe (site of famous westerns like
True Grit -- the snake pit is real by the way --
The Cowboys with John Wayne [his horse Hondo was my 'daily driver' then :-D],
Cat Ballou,
Duchess and the Dirtwater Fox,
The Sacketts, and a bunch of others) taking Texans on trail rides and trying to keep them away from the rattlesnakes.
So many memories ... and still can't get ahold of my mother. Her phone doesn't accept texts either. I'm just trying to stay positive and hope for the best because there's not much else I can do from here.
Best wishes to those who've lost so much.
