Re: LRP - Construction Pics
I've been going to LRP since the 60s. I remember watching Dick Smothers, Mark Donahue, and all the Trans Am drivers going around and around. Although I understand why what's being done is being done, deep down I wish it would never change. It makes me feel mortal.
Two years ago I went skiing in Snowmass Colorado. One of my reasons for paying the extra for that place was to have lunch at my favorite restaurant at "Sam's Knob (elevation 10,340 ft)". When I got to the top of the lift the restaurant was gone, as was 16 feet of the top of the hill. It was the best view in Snowmass for almost 40 years and now it was gone forever. Somebody in New York, who had no connection to the place, had decided that the numbers made sense. I don't think I even rode that lift again. I haven't been back since.
