andy_piper2 Posted March 14, 2002 Share Posted March 14, 2002 It seems like there are slightly more people from the region between, say, Cheyenne and Pueblo than statistics would justify. There might be some purpose (lens swaps or some such) in knowing who we are. <p> For the folks from elsewhere, the Front Range is the strip of Colorado where you can see both the Great Plains and the Rocky Mountains - fast becoming a megalopolis. Denver is the center, but not necessarily the heart. <p> Front Rangers are a little different. We know, for example, that winter is NOT December/January/February, or June/July/August (for the ANZACs), but February/March/April. <p> Just curious.

james_.1 Posted March 14, 2002 Share Posted March 14, 2002 Oh I definitely know what you mean by Front Range! I live in Boulder. We're getting some winter now aren't we??? Good to see a fellow Front Ranger/Leicaphile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeff voorhees Posted March 14, 2002 Share Posted March 14, 2002 I don't mean to intrude, but I'm feeling left out...I'm in Southern California. I suppose we are a little different too. But I have a theory about that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_piper2 Posted March 14, 2002 Author Share Posted March 14, 2002 Jeff: That's OK - Until I was 8 I grew up in Altadena - as I recall winters there were an 1/8th of an inch of snow between the grass blades once every 4 years. 8^) <p> If you're feeling left out - move to Colorado. It seems half of California already did! 8^) 8^) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff voorhees Posted March 14, 2002 Share Posted March 14, 2002 Andy- <p> It's funny, I live in Altadena. Maybe I bought your old house. :) <p> Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke_dunlap Posted March 14, 2002 Share Posted March 14, 2002 Not a Front Ranger, but I'm familiar with the term from reading John McPhee's superb trilogy on the geological history of North America. If you haven't read McPhee, run, don't walk, to the nearest bookstore and pick up any of his titles. He won the Pullitzer for nonfiction a few years ago.

msitaraman Posted March 14, 2002 Share Posted March 14, 2002 I am about 8000 miles directly underneath the Front Range which I remember very fondly from my travels and visits to Boulder c. 1985. Can I belong to your group? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
art_karr Posted March 14, 2002 Share Posted March 14, 2002 Andy: <p> I lived in Boulder from 1964 to 1970. Does that count? When I moved there the population was about 26,000. You could go up on Flagstaff any day and not see another person. <p> Last time I was there I got lost. <p> Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gee-bug Posted March 14, 2002 Share Posted March 14, 2002 Lived in Fort Collins 1994-2001, now liiving in Denver (West Wash Park). We love Denver. Much more photography potential than up north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charles barcellona www.bl Posted March 14, 2002 Share Posted March 14, 2002 I've a sister in Thornton - I think thats the town. From her place you used to be able to look out over the plains in one direction and from the front yard see mountains. I'm sure the plains are all burbs now (I was last there in the summer of 76!) <p> Is that what the front range is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_piper2 Posted March 15, 2002 Author Share Posted March 15, 2002 Jeff: 3771 Alzeda Rd. - just off Chaney Trail 'way up in the foothills above Loma Alta. <p> Mani: I won't exclude anyone - but if we happen to get a FRUG going or some such (?) 8000 miles may be a heck of a commute for meetings.... through solid rock. =8^o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
