Pueblo

Pueblo is a town about 45 miles south of the Springs, right on I-25. There's a parole office down there, and I work there once a week. Pretty interesting town, very blue collar, reminds me a lot of the Strip District back in Pittsburgh.

There's no hash in Pueblo, but the P2H4 does a yearly trail there. And they once got together to paint the world's biggest on-on foot on the riverwall. Here it is, should put everyone in a good mood on a great hashing weekend:

It's a friggin' ginormous foot, probably 80 feet long or so. Pretty cool sight, I go on a walk over lunch just to see it. The rabbit in the pic is the P2H4 logo, and though you can't see it very well in this pic, a bunch of hash names are painted in over the foot.

Will probably see Chlamydia in Pueblo some day, visiting this establishment:


Pueblo is also considered the Medal of Honor capital of our country. Four of it's residents currently hold the honor. I'll do a post about that next week after I can get some pics of the memorial. For those not in the know, the MOH is the top award one can get, even beating out the Combat Infantryman Badge. Nowadays you practically have to die in order to get one, but back in the Korea/WW/Vietnam days there were a handful of Rambo-types to get the medal.
