misterturdcat
Well it was either that or going through the mines of Moria. And I would not go that way if I had no other choice.
blancopelon
I have no memory of that place...
citizenkayt
I mean, yeah. That's where people would need to buy supplies and to sell their goods, so...yeah.

Something about this picture doesn't quite seem right, that looks like Pikes peak in the back ground but I have never seen the peak that...

Big or clearly when I'm in Denver.
DrLivingstoneIpresume
Lets be real, people are still doing exactly that.
CP3oh
Yeah, except they're coming the opposite direction, from Cali, seeing Kansas and Nebraska and saying "Fuck that" and staying put.

Old joke by Gallagher.

Well you know how it turned out when people refused to let stop signs from nature stop them.

In school we played a reinactment game of the donner party. I was a bugger in that game but i also previously knew about the party so.
OldMadDad
That is how my g-g-g-g-grandparents settled in western Oregon... They went until they couldn't go no further

Why the fuck have I seen this four times in the last ten minutes
smarterthanawaffle
In Colorado. Can confirm. "Right here looks good."
showmemetheway
Funny. I still say that when I open my door and stare out at the mountains each morning.
LtShed
I felt like that with the Rockies in Alberta, until I moved away for a while. Turns out I really liked those bastards

I had the hardest time ever figuring out which way was North when I visited Illinois. "Everything's fuckin flat, I need a landmark dammit"

You're forgetting they we suffering from altitude sickness too. That shit would make you think a city 1 mile up would be a good idea
DontTalkToMeOrMyWaifuEverAgain
Really? I live on the other side that's roughly 1.1k ( about 25%ish) above sea level and never heard of it being a problem
NotaCPA
just f'ing with ya. I'm at sea level. left sea level once. didn't like it air got thin, people wore cowboy hats, and boots.
ImGettingMines
You only get altitude sickness if you don’t live here I was born and raised in denver and haven’t ever gotten Altitude sickness
ImGettingMines
Also I didn’t downvote fyi
IDidntThinkItWouldBeThisHard
What is altitude sickness? Any similarities to the flew?
Showmeyourotters
Higher altitudes have lower oxygen contents and lower pressure, or "thin air". If you're not acclimated to it you get kinda sick, usually
Showmeyourotters
dizziness, headaches, nausea and that sort of thing but in really extreme cases (Think climbing Mt Everest too fast) can be fatal

Not sure if typo of actually really clever pun.

A few of us kept going and made it all the way to Boulder.

So you lot were slightly... bolder.

With your room-mate?

You coulda been one of those weirdos who made it to Ned
mastertrav666
I think my favorite thing up there is the sign that says Nedestrian Crossing.
VanillaTacos
My favorite thing is how utterly strange they all are. I work in one of the animal ERs and some of the things they believe are unbelievable
mastertrav666
And then got stuck in the bubble.
DontNeedAWeatherManToKnowWhichWayTheWindBlows
Yep. The Boulder Bubble - aka, 12 Sq Miles, surrounded by reality. To which I always reply: Reality sucks, why would I want to live there?
DirtyMikeAndTheBoyz
Bubble?

Boulder bubble. Insulated them from the plebs/reality

Then the Mormons got on their mountain bikes and charged off to salt lake city, Utah.

So that's why all the Mormons ride bikes...they stole them from the mountains!
captainrylz
Mormon here. Can confirm. At age 8, in a secret ceremony, we ascend Ensign Peak alone to be ordained our first bicycle and necktie.

You were given yours? I had to sacrifice a virgin in the Temple to get mine! Lucky bastard..

Brigham Young saw the desert beyond the Great Salt Lake and said "Fuck that, THIS is the place"
WillDropPantsForFood
"This is place enough" - Brigham Young's internal monologue
spaceasaurus
Didn’t the Mormons think that the Great Salt Lake was the ocean? Because of all the seagulls? & then they were like “Journey complete!”
WillDropPantsForFood
Not quite, GSL had been well documented as a lake before Mormons arrived. And according to Mormon lore the gulls arrived after themselves
spaceasaurus
So the Mormons knew that it was a great salt lake? & was like “brilliant - a salty lake that will not produce any fish. Let’s live here!”?
WillDropPantsForFood
More how eetsumkaus, described it. It was "Revelation from God", but really probs was to avoid crossing Nevada in July + B.Y. was sickly
