Poolsharkycat and Imusttravel2000 are pursuing one of our interests through geocaching. Please feel free to add any information that you know about these towns in your log. Thank you and enjoy.


Last Chance was a major stop on the road east out of Denver. It was the last stop at which a traveler could make a pitstop, get gas, food, lodging, souvenirs, etc. A lively town in those days with motels and cafes all clustered together under bright neon lights.

About 15 or 20 years ago, my husband and I were driving from the Midwest to Estes Park via highway 36 when we saw a homemade sign at the side of the road that said "Dairy King ahead." Well, we could see absolutely nothing but high plains, but as we crested the next hill it appeared out of nowhere and we screeched to a halt in front of this establishment. It was Sunday mid-day and wow, every person for miles around must have been having Sunday dinner at the Dairy King. We joined them, loved the food and the milieu, and have had a fond memory of a summer Sunday at the Dairy King in Last Chance for years.

So, obviously, it's so sad to see it shuttered and derelict! Even after all this time, I can picture the inside humming with business. Things change out here, but I really appreciate the cache to bring back these memories!
