I am familiar with Rifle. Lived there some 40+ years ago, and lots has changed Still have friends that live there. That place fits in that town quite well. Haven't been there, but will probably try to stop in my next trip over that way. Thanks for posting, Soap.
Rifle has already been "discovered" by the gas boom. No problem there. Used to be ranch country but it's a little tougher to run a cow there nowadays. People are in the way. Probably still a nice enough community relative to the rest of the world.
