Rather than hi-jack the current thread, 'Colorado Destinations...' and in relation to my post on Estes Park therein, I thought I'd throw out another location of interest, however it is not in Colorado but rather the adjoining state of Wyoming.

Leaving Estes Park northward you would pass through Ft. Collins and bearing NW find yourself in Laramie, WY. Laramie is the location of the old Wyoming Territorial Prison. This venue, if you happen to find yourself in the area, is not to be missed. One of the early residents of this lockup was Butch Cassidy. Coincidentally while Cassidy was in residence there I also had a family member confined at that facility. This relative was female, by the name of Stella Gatlin, convicted of Mail Theft and serving a two year sentence.

If any of you folks who intend to be at the Morro Bay GTG in March are interested in the rest of the story I'd be glad to pull up a lawn chair and fill you in on the details.
