Saw this young feller on hwy 35 about 30km north of high level.
He was not appreciative of the interruption and bluff charged my truck! First time that has ever happened to me!

I have looked at this cave for years from across the valley and finally decided to try and find it. Close but not quite. Gonna need some ropes and hardware next time.


Cool spot never know what somebody left in there. Easy Peasy for a 12 year old, getting down is the scary part. We would go so steep we had to leave a dog on a ledge for hours.

I am not sure i do not watch the news, i took that picture out my back window. I remember thinking to my goodness this is only smoke, i wonder how black it would be if it was volcanic ash. Another picture, it should be daylight.

Happy Killdozer day..
IMG_9479.jpg



Today is a special day. June 4th 2018 marks the 14th anniversary of the Killdozer's rampage through Granby Colorado.

Sit down kids and let me tell you a tale, about a reasonable man driven to do unreasonable things.

Marvin Heemeyer was a man who owned a muffler shop in Granby Colorado. The city council ordained to approve the construction of a concrete factory in the lot across from Marvin's shop. In the process this blocked the only access road to the muffler shop. Marvin petitioned to stop the construction to no avail. Petitioned to construct a new access road, and even bought the heavy machinery to do so himself. Denied.

The concrete factory went up in disregard to the ramifications on Marvin's business. To add insult to injury, the factory construction disconnected the muffler shop from the city sewage lines. An indifferent city government then chose to fine Marvin for this.

His business and livelihood were in ruin. Rather than lie down and die, Marvin chose to fight back. Over the course of a year and a half Marvin secretly outfitted the bulldozer he bought to save his business with three foot thick steel and concrete armor, camera systems guarded with bulletproof glass.

On June 4th 2004 Marvin Heemeyer lowered the armored shell over top of himself, entombing himself inside the Killdozer to make his last stand.

He burst fourth from the walls of his muffler shop and straight into the concrete factory that ruined his business. Over the course of the next several hours Marvin drove his Killdozer through 13 buildings owned by those officials that had wronged him, including the city council building itself.

Swat teams swarmed the dozer, but it proved immune to small arms fire and even explosives. Another piece of heavy machinery was even brought out to fight the Killdozer, but it too fell to the dozers righteous fury.

In the end, Marvin's Killdozer became trapped in one of the buildings it was built to destroy. Marvin chose to take his life, the only life he took that day.

Today we celebrate Killdozer day and Marvin Heemeyer, the last great American folk hero. A man driven to the brink who chose to fight back against an indifferent system.

From notes left behind after his passing:
"I was always willing to be reasonable until I had to be unreasonable. Sometimes reasonable men must do unreasonable things."

When injustice becomes the law, resistance becomes duty

Very nice, gonna take awhile to move all the stuff out of that house. Privacy is very nice probably looking to down size as that takes quite a bit of work to upkeep. If it was me i would ask to leave the pool table lol!
