Banjoman: I grew up on the Western Slope, but went to visit relatives on the Eastern Slope; my ancestors were pioneers in both places. I used to have so much fun when I went to visit my aunt who lived in Fowler. I'd get to ride the bus from Grand Junction, all by myself, and stay with her for a couple of weeks. I haven't been over that way since I was a teen. Are you anywhere near there? Of course, we Western Slopers never admitted enjoying any part of the Eastern slope; generally wanted to secede and be our own state!I've been a few other places since, but am in Wyoming now.
