And a helmet...

I lived in Eagle for a couple of years in the early 70's, there was pretty
much nothing in the Eagle valley west of Vail except for a couple of horse
farms. We could ride for a couple of days and not see a soul.

I happened to get a new version of Delorme Street Atlas and saw the sprawl has
taken over the Eagle valley from end to end. Amazing what 30+ years can do...
