Same here -

I was a freshman at Colorado College in the Fall of '59, and two or three times walked a mile or so south on Cascade Avenue to check out #168.  She was parked in front of the Antlers Hotel in those days, a few years before she was moved down near the Rio Grande depot and cosmetically restored by John Bush and Fred Oster.
