Happy to say I am living back in Boulder (Gunbarrel) again after living in Estes Park for almost 15 years.  I first came to Boulder in 1961 to attend CU and now am teaching online courses for Continuing Education at CU.  While living in Estes I was evacuated for a fire last summer and then was inundated with smoke from the Fern Lake fire most of the fall.  Too much stress and too much to lose, so I moved.  Have been enjoying Twin Lakes trails, Walden Ponds/Sawmill Ponds, and Niwot trails. …
