Default Great Job in Colorado

Hey, we all have writing experience, so here's a Reporter job in Telluride, CO: http://denver.craigslist.org/wri/833923110.html. Telluride? Yeah, it's like Aspen, except Aspen is for billionaires, but Telluride is for normal folks.

In 1978, I worked in the Idarado Mine there. It was a huge silver, lead, zinc mine. It had an entrance above Ouray on the east, where we would take a train six miles underground. The mill was on the other side of the mountain, above Telluride.

This is in the San Juan Mountains of southwestern Colorado, probably the most beautiful in Colorado. Telluride is in a box canyon, surrounded by mountains on three sides. Opportunities for canyon or mountain riding are unlimited. Arizona and Utah are nearby, and I don't have to tell you about riding out there. The winters can be brutal, but the skiing is world class. It is just a fantastic place.

I love Telluride... my family drove through there when i was younger... GORGEOUS place... I'd love to go back... but alas no military bases near...

I can't write for squat. Also can't leave Indiana because of my daughter. Believe me, I'd most likely be out west if I could be.

There was just a girl that wrote into my colleges paper today about how a lot of the columns keep using the word "like" just like a high school girl would, then sure enough the article on the back page did the exact same thing. People that can not communicate prperly dont need to be heard.
