Denver: L6
One stone of 230g was found on a warehouse roof on July 17, 1967. (Catalogue)
Barely a mile from where I live now

Hi Anne
You would be a little further away from the Denver fall than 1 mile. I 
recently asked one of Jack's assistants Alan (who visited the site recently) where 
it fell. He said it fell on a warehouse near I 70 & Grape. Grape is east of 
Colorado Blvd. so I would guess it is 10+ miles from you. That is my closest as 
well, being only 20 minutes away from my house. 
Also of note is I/we have three other falls within 1 hour drive. These 
include Elbert, Johnstown, and of course Berthoud. I've hunted all three but have 
not found any of them....at least not yet anyway. Anybody else besides all us 
COMETS members have such a dense concentration of falls so close.
Something equally as interesting is that I have only two finds within 1 hour 
of my home, Apex and Erie. Maybe I better get hunting and find some more.
Mike
