Growin Up
By Norm Seeley | January 13, 2008
When I was growing up in Denver, one of the things I love to do was go up the the ranch that my father was lucky enough to have access to when I was a teenager.
It was in Pine Colorado, which really wasn’t that far outside of Denver. It had a lake, several individual Cabins, a Large Guest house that had a full kitchen and numerous rooms, each with a bathroom. Almost like a small hotel.
I remember spending many a weekend up there, fishing on the lake, fishing in the South Plate that ran through the valley it was in. My parents loved to go up there. They also loved to have many of their friends come up too. Being as close to Denver as it was, not much over an hour away, it was easy to get there and back.
I also remember one weekend being bitten by a Black Widow Spider and spending several days at General Rose Hospital back in Denver. I also remember being in the back of our Dodge station wagon and as a Colorado Highway Patrol car with red lights and siren lead us out of the mountains into the city.
It would be fun to have such a retreat to go to on the weekends or just when ever. Like Pigeon Forge Cabins.
I guess this blog kinda ties in with the one yesterday dreaming about what one would do.

Interesting about Pigeon Forge. I hope to semi-retire not far from that area one of these days.
