Last I heard she had moved to the east coast with a man she met in Japan. I know her dad used to minister at the church, her brother's name was Charlie. Any information would be appreciated. For the earlier post, I do have the recipe for Tincup Pie, compliments of Joannie Norris. Looking for Susan Cole, daughter of Sue Cole.

I then was just messing around tonight on my computer and saw your post. I am a resident of Lawrence, Ks, and have been for almost 40 years.

As I was searching the internet I was thinking about my experience at Tin Cup so I thought I would google it, and came across this site. I to went to Camp Timberline trails with my father more of a tag a long cause I was actually to young to be a camper. Those were some of the best times of my life. I remember so well the games of kick the can, and capture the flag. Eating eggs with spam in the morning. Loved the horseback riding, rafting, hiking, camping, bonfire at the cemetary (headless horseman, & the harry baby stories). I could go on and on. Bob I loved your house. I can't remember a whole lot of details, but do remember spending alot of time there. Bob thank you for a very fond memory!

I will never never forget all the geat experiences I had the summers I went to camp there. On the hikes with Dave Knoop (Nordic Dave)I was so tired. I thought this is IT..I am done for...I cant go hike any more. When I reach the next bend in the trail ahead.I am just going to collapse and that will be that. But I found I could keep going more even when I thought I could not..A great lesson I have applied to the rest of my life. I wish all kids today were as lucky as we were to have such a wonderful and positive experiences as I had at Timberline Trails Boys Camp growing up. Thank You so much for sharing your love for Tin Cup with the rest of the world. I know now as a adult it must have been a huge amount of work to to make your dream of a boys camp come true. But I want to say say it was a fantastic success in my eyes. Thanks again Bob. Kyle Portman Bob

I, too, have always enjoyed Tincup, though my enjoying was always passing through. My family has had summer cabins on the Gunnison River near Gunnison since the early 1920s, so there have been a lot of trips around the surrounding area, and Tincup with the placer mining and beautiful scenery was always one of my favorites. Luckily I will be out there from NH this summer in July for a week, and I'm sure that the trip through Tincup, Lake Irwin, and Alpine Tunnel will be on the agenda. Arnie Nice site!

Dawson Wed, 01 Apr 2009 02:29:20 +0000 https://kshedden.wordpress.com/2006/05/26/tincup-colorado/#comment-1498 Seems like Jessee Geary has has some bad experiences with 4X4 riders and for that I am truly sorry. My experience with Tincup began back in about 1946. My maternal grandfather and grandmother had retired from the ranching business down in Kiowa County and had relocated to Pitkin. My parents would take my little sister and me to visit them and I fondly remember the trips to Tincup and Taylor Park to fish with Grandmother baiting my hook. Soon after, Grandmother found that she had cancer and she died in a very short time. Grandad lived for a number of years until he died at Waunita Hot Springs in 1957. I have made several trips back to Pitkin and up over Cumberland pass to Tincup over the years. They always brought back pleasant memories. Back to the four-wheeler experience...... As I am now rapidly approaching 70 and have been diagnosed as having COPD, I find that the only way I can get out into the woods in the high country is with a 4X4. My wife, a native Mississippian, and I truly enjoy four-wheeling the Rockies. We make every attempt to be good neighbors to those of you who live there but some who have come before us have unquestionably left a bad taste in the locals mouth's. Again, I am sorry for the actions of those who cause such great dislike to Mr. Geary. I only hope that he might learn to judge each individual by his actions and not condemn four-wheelers as a whole.
