I had the privilege to map the geology of the north part of the Ft Carson base
in 2002-2003. The area is very rugged, much like Glorieta, and is full of
rocks. Not the best hunting grounds. I remember driving down one of the base
roads in a remote area, and was ambushed by several men that were dressed like
terrorists (masks, black clothing and machine guns). They thought I was part of
the exercise. I explained who I was and we all had a laugh, but I nearly soiled
myself!
The area north of the base is extremely rugged with a few thousand feet in
elevation changes, very remote (don't get lost) and full of mountain lions. I
am not trying to scare you away, but this is no walk in the park.

Hello Mike and List,
Fort Carson is a large and active military base, a lot of training there
before deployment in Iraq. I doubt they would welcome visitors. But you could
try
just west of the base along 115, mostly ranch land I believe.
Also a major winter storm is expected here today. It is gray cold and light
drizzle in Denver right now, it could already be snowing there.
Sorry, I don't mean to be discouraging, but those are the facts.

From that altitude and with the prevailing winds aloft, that should put it
on the ground in the middle of the Fort Carson Reservation. Maybe we can get
then to trail some magnets from the tanks;-)
