So far I seem to be the only one from colorful Colorado. How about Northwest, OH or Northeast IN. Anybody from Ft.Wayne or Lima out there. I grew up between them.
Drifter, I USED to live in Colorado....Vail in 1972 when there was only 400 true locals, then Jacquie and I left and there was 398. My ex-step brother still lives up there and has owned some sports shop up there for a good long time now.
I miss living up there and all the good times I had even in later years running up and down the cordillera from New Mexico to Canada.
Getting about time to think about bringing in the brass monkeys about now, isn't it?
And good choice of monikers, I wonder how many here besides us know the true identity of Luke The Drifter?

Hmmmm. Luke the Drifter huh? Well, not really that old, but due to an eclectic life and all, I do happen to know the true identity of the fellow in question, and as he would say himself, "When the Lord made me, He made a Ramblin' Man".
Leo, who done wondered down onto the Azuero Peninsula.

That somebody from WV knew who the original Luke the Drifter was isn't nearly as surprising as a Panamanian. Way to go folks,but I bet it stumped a lot of the kids out here.
