This may not "count," but the San Juan River actually does flow from NM into CO, but only after meandering from its headwaters NE of Pagosa.
What say you, Mr. Thomas?

Re: Slumgullion history...
Haha. I graduated from Midland Lee, class of '99. There was absolutely nothing to do in Midland but get into trouble. I haven't been back since, and it's a completely different place now.painless4u2 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 30, 2021 6:41 amNow, now. I grew up in Midland.

Edit: Midland Beer Garden is now closed. Midland officially sucks in all ways.
