Some or many of us may have some stories of things that happened years ago that could not or would not happen today. Here is one of mine, I would appreciate any of yours: There was as group of six of us cutting timber in the Los Pinos region south of Gunnison. We were all good friends. If I remember correctly, this was in the summer of 1974. We were in Gunnison all had been drinking and were on our way back to the hills. Something happened that caused us to pull over and get into a donnybrook in the middle of the street. We were in the middle of the intersection Hwy 50 and Main St. Needless to say the Gunnison police were there in short order. After trying to figure it all out and getting little cooperation and being told were were on the way out town, the policeman got on the radio and made a call. I thought we were on the way to the hoosegow. There were six of us in one pickup along with many cases of Coors. To our great surprise, the policeman said follow me. He led us east on Hwy 50 to the edge of town. There we were met by a Colorado State Highway Patrol car that the proceeded to lead us east to the intersection of Hwy 50 and Hwy 114. There we were released to be on our way. If I remember correctly we were told to " get the hell out of here and I don't want to see any of you ever again". NO arguments from any of us.
