        Is that an ‘interesting’ area? I drove by once and thought the namesake was neat.

          There’s a LAN party there every year. Seems about the best thing about it.

          I inquired about why the Bustang that goes to to Colorado Springs doesn’t stop in Castle Rock. The Bustang employee heavily implied it was because Castle Rock just refuses to allow transit riders in their city. Castle Rock rather have a taxi budget for old people then do any form of public transit.

          Hike the Rock and have lunch somewhere (good taco trucks if you’re ballin’ on a budget) but the town is literally the wide spot with gas stations, a Kroger and a WalMart that supports some of the most disingenuous, new money, tacky-ass MAGA you’ll ever meet. Just look up Douglas County politics and that’s like the epicenter of the suburbs that create those politics.

          Next two exits north are Castle Pines which is new-money MAGA bullshit to the extreme. I hate working for those people.

          It’s Steven King’s movie/tv setting also, but just in name, I think in his stories it’s in Maine. The Castle Rock TV series is amazing, season 2 is a prequel to Misery (1990).
