  6. Cascade Haunted Forest Drive Through is located at 8048 U.S. Highway 24 in Cascade, CO. Zip code is 80809.  Directions: Take U.S. Highway 24 west towards Woodland Park, CO. Cascade is the first town that you come to after passing Manitou Springs, CO. It is 5 miles once you start up the pass.  When arriving in Cascade, turn right at the light and then left to the first street. This is Topeka Avenue.  Turn right and the entrance will be the first driveway on your right.  You may park on the street and walk in or drive through and exit at the end of the driveway.  Hours: Most people will be going through on Halloween, after the sun has set.  Call me at 719-960-6829 and let me know if you would like to come through earlier in the week.  This way I know you are coming and I can turn on the creatures.  (KEVIN HOLT)

  7. Greg Swartz medical update as of 10/7: It’s a busy week with doctor visits and PT sessions.  Leg / Ankle: It’s official. Today, I can start putting weight on the foot. Yay!  It’s only a few pounds… but I’ll take it!  Shoulder: Range of motion is 120 degrees upward and 110 degrees outward.  The glenoid is still severely fractured but making progress.  I  can now move up to 5 lbs! No more sling! (Unless necessary.)  Hand: Slight progress. Still have severe nerve damage in index finger and thumb.  Everything else works well. Waiting on shoulder progress before another EMG test (electrical shock therapy). I want to say thank you to my lovely bride, Saint Kim, for everything the last 10 weeks! She is amazing!  (GREG SWARTZ)
