Steamboat Spring, Routt County, Colorado, United States, North America
The city of Steamboat Springs is a Home Rule Municipality that is the county seat and the most populous city of Routt County, Colorado, United States. As of the 2010 census, the city population was 12,088. The city is an internationally known winter ski resort destination. The Steamboat Springs tourism industry is highlighted by Steamboat Ski Resort, which is on Mount Werner in the Park Range just east of the town. It also contains the much smaller Howelsen Ski Area. It is located in the upper valley of the Yampa River, along U.S. Highway 40 just west of the Continental Divide and Rabbit Ears Pass. The area surrounding Steamboat Springs was originally inhabited by the Yampatikas Utes, who hunted in the valley during the summer. Trappers began to move through the area during the first decades of the 19th century. James Harvey Crawford, the founder of Steamboat Springs, first arrived in the spring of 1874. The Crawford family moved there in 1876, and for the first five years were the sole permanent residents of the town. The native Utes were forcibly removed from the area to a reservation in Utah by the U.S. Army starting in 1879. Milestones in the development of the pioneer town included the first sawmill in 1873, incorporation of the town in 1900, and the arrival of the railroad in 1909. The economy of the region was originally based on ranching and mining, which still have a large presence in the county. Steamboat is home to natural hot springs that are located throughout the area (see Geography). Upon first hearing a chugging sound, early trappers believed that a steamboat was coming down the river. When the trappers saw that there was no steamboat, and that the sound was coming from a hot spring, they decided to name the spring Steamboat Springs. Originally, skiing was the only method of transportation during harsh and snowy Rocky Mountain winters. In turn, the popularity of skiing as a winter pastime catalyzed development of the town and other communities all over the Rocky Mountains. In 1913, Carl Howelsen, a Norwegian, moved to town and introduced ski jumping. Howelsen built the first jump on Howelsen Hill, now part of the Howelsen Ski Area. He also founded the annual Winter Carnival, a celebration still held each winter. The festival includes ski racing and jumping, dog sledding, and chariot events down Lincoln Avenue, the city's main street. Light shows on both Mount Werner and Howelsen Hill are highlights. The Steamboat Ski Resort was largely established by two local men, Jim Temple and John Fetcher. Temple led the effort to develop the area. Fetcher, a local rancher, was the main designer and builder. The resort opened on what was then called Storm Mountain in 1963. In 1974, The Industrial Company (TIC) was started in Steamboat Springs and has since grown into one of the largest industrial construction companies in the United States with revenues of approximately $2 billion in 2007. The company is one of the largest employers in Routt County and has more than 9,000 employees worldwide. In 1993, the City Council of Steamboat Springs, Colorado conducted a poll of its residents to choose a new name for the bridge that crossed the Yampa River on Shield Drive. With 7,717 votes, the winning name was James Brown Soul Center of the Universe Bridge. The bridge was officially dedicated in September 1993, and James Brown appeared at the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the event. According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 10.1 square miles (26 km2), all of it land except for the Yampa River. The Yampa Valley and surrounding area contain several geothermal hot springs. The city is named after the Steamboat Spring, located near the present-day library and the old train depot. The spring itself was so named because its bubbling sounded like a steamboat to early settlers. Unfortunately, the construction of the railroad, which passes right next to the Steamboat Spring, silenced the chugging sound in 1908. Locals take pride in the name of their town, as evidenced by the humorously named Steamboat Yacht Club, a local restaurant formerly located on the Yampa River. Though there are no steamboats in the town, except for an allegorical steamboat playground in West Lincoln Park, the area does offer two hot springs that are open to the public.

How I Spent My Summer Vacation [unedited]
Road Trip!
This summer, my daughter (Autumn) and I embarked on a whirlwind trip through the Southwestern USA...
7 States in 7 Days!
Some people from the Northeastern USA might not be impressed by this. They're probably thinking, I could visit 7 states during a lunch break!.
But keep in mind that the states out here in the Southwestern USA tend to be a bit larger. Make that a _lot_ larger. So, visiting 7 states requires a _lot_ of driving.
How much driving?
Well, as you'll see in the video, our odometer started at 18,511 and ended at 20,834. I'm not going to use the tired you do the math! thing here. The answer is... 2,323 miles! That's 331 miles a day! (Actually, it's 387 miles per day if you consider the fact that we were driving for a little over 6 24-hour periods during the 7 calendar days. Yeah, I'm a [math] geek.)
Here's the route we took: San Marcos, California --- Tucson, Arizona --- El Paso, Texas --- Albuquerque, New Mexico --- Cortez, Colorado --- Grand Canyon [North Rim, Point Imperial], Arizona --- St. George, Utah --- Las Vegas, Nevada --- San Marcos, California.
The bottom line (for me) is that it was a lot of fun. And it reinforced just how much Autumn and I enjoy each other's company. Unlike the stereotypical family road trip, we were not getting on each other's nerves during the trip. Not in the least. Not at all, in fact.
The only bumps in the road were a couple of frustrating things having nothing to do with our personal interactions with one another. At one point, we lost our way a bit at the end of _very_ long day -- the day we visited the Grand Canyon. The payoff of the Grand Canyon was great, but the amount of driving we did on that day -- coupled with an unplanned detour in Utah -- led to some tense moments for both of us. We recovered quickly, and that was that... until Vegas. OMG. I don't recall walking The Strip being so fucking miserable. But we survived, and learned our lesson(s) -- as you can see/hear in the video.
Enough babbling, I suppose. There's already plenty of that in the video. I just felt the need to record some of my thoughts (and facts) here about the trip. And now I've done that.
Note: This is an unedited video. That's not to say it's obscene in any way -- though I have no idea what you personally consider to be obscene. It's unedited in the sense that I didn't fix it in post. All I did was take all of the little video snippets that I'd recorded during our road trip, and combined them in chronological order to make this video. No clipping. No audio adjustments. Just the raw video from the road trip. That's it. Got it? Good.
Special Thanks... to our Kia Soul.

Vintage Photos of the Lost 1871 Great Chicago Fire Cyclorama Painting
A collection of photographs of the cyclorama painting and models depicting the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. It was made by artist H. H. Gross for the 1892 World's Columbian Exposition. The cyclorama was sold to a junk dealer for $2.00 in 1913 which seems to be that the last recorded sighting of it. The photos of the cyclorama were taken in 1892 and attributed to G.M. Watson.

Armored Truck Employee Fired After Being Robbed
A Colorado Brinks truck driver was fired following a robbery last month in Greenwood Village. Sabrina Gimeno, a mother of three, returned to her Brinks truck on Oct. 30, pushing a cart loaded with money she had picked up at a bank. After opening the vehicle's rear door, three armed, masked men jumped out of an SUV and forced her to her knees, telling her to put her hands in the air. As one gunmen kept his weapon aimed at her head, the other two helped themselves to over $100,000 in cash.
