Currently in the process of moving to Ouray CO. I might need some help lugging furniture through the snow. Any takers?

i’m not sure there are any people at all there. Enjoy the scenery and seclusion though.

From Wikipdia: Ouray /’j??re?/ is a Home Rule Municipality that is the county seat and the most populous city of Ouray County, Colorado, United States. The city population was 813 at the U.S. Census 2000 and 1,000 as of the U.S. Census 2010

it does have two breweries though, one of which looks like the real deal

I didn’t really think that there was anyone else out here.

But two breweries, and a bourbon distillery is under construction, makes this a cool place. Interestingly the city is a dry city in regards to pot.

I hope to have my household set up by the end of winter. If anyone is in the area shoot me a PM.

Cheers

It looks like a beautiful drive to College Liquors in Grand Junction, that place has a simply amazing selection.

High mountain passes in all directions except north to Grand Junction. I also see that it is 40 miles to the nearest Mcdonalds in Montrose. I can’t help but wonder if that is a ratebeer record for farthest distance to the nearest Mickey D’s.

I’ve lived in Colorado for nearly 7 years and have never been farther west than Aspen. I’m slacking. Get your shit set up; I’m coming to visit.
