Your thread is titled "Trip to Ouray". Many year ago the wife and I were tent camping at the KOA in Ouray. It is in a beautiful little valley with a stream running through it. Definitely not the "Kruddy Open Areas" some KOA's have become.
I was walking near my tent when suddenly there was a very loud BANG! that scared us both. A little while later a sherrif's car rolled up. Someone had heard that noise and went to the office saying I was firing a gun in the campground. However, it had already happened again and when it did I had heard laughing coming from the top of the cliff that is on the west side of the campground. The stream is at the base of the cliff. I had walked down to the stream, and some young men on the deck of a cabin above thought it would be funny to drop another M-80 into the bushes nearby.
When I told the sherrif what had happened he looked up and called out, "Billy you stay right there. I'll be around in a few minutes to talk to your folks."
I hope they lit an M-80 on the seat of his pants.
