[quote=PatentGuy]My younger son and I drove from Ft Collins up to Laramie (taking highway 287 instead of I25 to I80) this past April (during his HS spring break first week in April) to check out the University of Wyoming. . .[/quote]
So, PatentGuy, will your son be applying to the University of Wyoming??
You guys took the route which passes by my first “choice retirement” area (of the early ’80’s), Red Feather Lakes, CO.
I haven’t been back in quite a number of years but I now understand that RFL is “Fort Collins-megalopolis-adjunct” and is nearly all encumbered by HOA’s. No thanks, now :={
edit: There is commuter plane service available to/from Cheyenne (from DEN) but you would have to rent a vehicle there and drive to Laramie, anyway. It’s probably cheaper and just as fast to rent your vehicle in Denver.
