Turned on the radio early this week and quickly cut to pre-recorded music since as soon as I put on 106.7 I was sickened with the POP music sounds of Imagine Dragons by Radioactive ... then David Bowie and Queen , oh well on my way back into Colorado I decided to try it again and I got 1 good song in and then they put on that *** DR.Drew with his sleep walk show loveline , and once again quickly cut to pre-recorded music ... I think they need to just call their station ...the other 93.3 ...lol

Hey y'all, I need to pick everyone's brain real quick.
I live in south longmont and want to take a very special young lady up to do some star gazing and pop that will you be my gf question. I'm horrible at the romantic stuff...but I need a good spot to drive up to. An overlook or easily reachable clearing in the backwoods to park our butts on the hood and hang out.
Who knows of a good spot? I saw a decent turn off on 72 between Ward and Nederland, but I'm not sure if its the best spot.
Requirements: must be legal to park there, clear shot of the sky with limited city lights (unless it's an overlook of the foothills), and I can get there with a stock XJ.
Thanks everyone!
