Rocky Mountain Joe

surprised there's no Wikipedia article, or AFAICT even mention of, famous photographer and storyteller Rocky Mountain Joe Sturtevant, a Boulder institution. (Most recently reminded of Joe's work while researching Fort Chambers, Boulder Poor Farm in Valmont, Colorado.) I seem to recall an unfavorable experience ☹️ trying to start a new WP article, so not prepared to do so, but will contribute if others can get it started.

Boulder's Documentary that was featured on PBS

Latest comment: 2 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I know I'm a little bias because I was apart of the documentary; however I think "This Is (not) Who We Are" should be on here. 2600:1700:8B81:6A00:B51D:FFEA:B958:185 (talk) 09:29, 23 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

elevation

Latest comment: 2 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I find it interesting that the Elevation listed in the top section (ref. 2 USGS) differs notably from the elevation stated in the narrative section (ref. 4).

I think of Boulder as being a little higher than Denver, though of course that greatly depends on precisely where the respective measurements are made. Lepome (talk) 14:21, 31 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Cruisers

Latest comment: 1 year ago2 comments1 person in discussion

Found it interesting that it said the cruisers are underground and that there's no organizers anymore. Took me two seconds to find the Instagram and Facebook pages--I remember in high school though, it would be posted on Snapchat. CU Boulder even has a page on it.

Also, totally forgot to mention, but I'm new to Wikipedia and am learning how to navigate everything. SassyTaffy (talk) 17:33, 3 May 2025 (UTC)Reply
