Not quite, Alabama Jim. I will digress, sorry.
"The Shining" movie was not filmed in Estes Park. The remake for TV was done there but it was not Jack Nicholson. We lived in Estes at the time. It was fun to have it all go on and meet all the people who - for the most part - were just good, regular people. Very little hotsy totsy.
(The original hotel was the Overlook Hotel (I think) and not sure where it is located)
During the filming in Estes Stephen King spend quite a bit of time in Estes. We met / talked to him on occasion. We have two autographed books and the one to my wife he autographed, "Barbara, keep on shining .... Stephen King". Do I need to tell you she treasures the book.
Thank you to my friend, Thom in Loveland, for updating on Hwy 34. It has had problems for many years but this last flood was severe so finally action to repair that - and many more things - is taking place.
Thom, you might post an update on Roads and Routes section - maybe you have and I have not seen it.
Merry Christmas.
