Castle Rock is about a 20 minute drive for me. How long have they been there?

Nope....did snow clearing 3X already, though. I have over 2000 s.f. to clean each time. 25* and wind is blowing. Have us on a blizzard warning. Not the best conditions to enjoy a little ride. May go out anyway later. Wish we had a Starbucks nearby..

30 years or so. Happy Canyon exit, up on the ridge to the left as you go south. Beautiful view from their deck. Pike's Peak, Devil's Head, and Mt Evans are usually easily seen.
