There’s lots of weirdos and freaks up in them thar hills.
Hippy central.
I am not certain that there are lots of hippy freaks in the hills near Aspen. Too cold during winter. Maybe near Asheville, NC. or Athens, Ga. or the entire state of California. There may be food service waiters in Aspen who hate their customers. Gees, those old people in Aspen are rude and obnoxious. Yet the high school and college kids are just having fun. How the heck did the bad guys know where the gas lines were located? Was it locals?
