Ahhh, I guess the name is a little misleading. I don't hunt with hounds anymore but I started with the user name 20 years ago when I working with a couple of bloodhounds and just keep using the name. I do have a pair of coonhound mutts that we've taken rabbit hunting a couple of times but they are just family pets. My first bloodhound came from a long line of Lion hunters but I could never brake her from the habit of running bears. She hated bears.
Still cool! Welcome!
Yep, loads of prisons, the wet mountains, really pretty area
Yep, there's the old territory prison and a bunch of others . Most people are familiar with Canon City and I have a Canon City address even though it's about 30 miles away. I'm actually closer to Cripple Creek and around 8500 feet elevation. GJ is nice too and I need to get back there and get a new Wiggies jacket.
I did a mini tour of that old prison after dropping my guy at intake. The part I saw was medieval looking. They ought to make any miscreant youth spend a day there.
Yeah, there's a bunch of old prospecting holes and a couple of mines around us.As a building contractor we are always digging holes and I'm always watching for something cool. Never found any gold but I did find a large topaz once. A geologist estimated it around $25K . It's sitting on the homeowners mantel now.
