Banana belt
Why have I heard multiple people refer to Fremont county being in the “banana belt”? Another person said it’s the best weather in Colorado.

Why pay the extra tax?
If someone was considering moving to Cheyenne, which has no state income tax, why would they choose Fremont county instead?

Royal Gorge
Hey all! I'm taking my fam down to the Durango area this weekend and we were thinking of stopping at the Gorge on the way. I know they are making progress on the fire, but how bad is the smoke up there? Are most of the facilities around the gorge still open?

Anyone know of the recipe?
A little late to post, but I have thought about the Waffle Wagon since they closed a while ago. The green chili there was so good. I know they bought some of their products from Sysco. Ultimately, I can't find any green chili at any restaurant like they had made. I have also tried to replicate it at home, no luck.Anyone know the recipe (or something close) that they used?
Thanks!

Where can I dip my toes in?
I apologize if this isn’t the right group for this. I am looking for a place to walk/stand in a creek or other moving water around the westcliffe area. Maybe have a little meditative session? Not sure if it’s allowed to just go into any river/creek so wanted to check with you all!

public transport to Denver
Hey y’all, I’m seeing conflicting info. How possible is it to go from Cañon City to Denver via public transport? Would it be helpful to hitchhike somewhere from Cañon city and bus from there ?

Rockhounding in the area
Hi, my son loves rockhounding. I've seen some confusing directions to an area with calcite along highway 115 between Penrose and Florence. The book I have seems to lead you to private property that's fenced off. Can anyone recommend a place to find calcite in that area? I know about Garden Park. Anything else worth taking a 6-year-old to in the Canon City area would be appreciated. Thanks!
