Talk:Caribou Ranch

Caribou

There is a book called Colorado, 1870-2000 Revisited, The History Behind the Images by John Fielder which is publisg by Westcliffe Publishers (www.westcliffepublishers.com) ISBN: 1-56579-389-7.

This is the book where I got the Caribou from (Athough I typed the article with my own words yet it was true to the documents) And I learned about Caribou/Caribou Ranch thing. John Fielder wrote in his book about the ranch on page 65: I knew that Jim Guercio, ex-drummer of the defunct rock band Chicago, owned a place called Caribou Ranch, but he does not know that an old mining town named Caribou existed in the 19th century which is where I got the source to put in the Caribou Ranch. I may be wrong that it saids nothing about the town existed where the ranch is. I think we shoud keep it "Coincidently, there was a 19th century town named Caribou".

There's "caribou" stuff all over that part of Colorado; it might be worth including as a possible historical basis for the name of the ranch. Please repost your point above over on Talk:Caribou Ranch so others have a chance to chime in that won't see this here on my backwater page. (Don't forget to add your new article to Caribou (disambiguation).) —RandallJones 10:27, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

I moved it here mind you.

The ghost town of Caribou is southwest of the ranch location. Just as you begin to exit the town of Nederland, on Hwy 72, a road called Caribou Rd goes off to the left. That will wind up the mountain and take you to the ruins of an old town. Not much there, although some hiking and 4-wheel drive trails intersect up there. Beyond that point is private property. The Caribou Ranch is further north up Hwy 72. About 3 miles from Caribou Rd is Silver Point Drive. Just after turning west onto Silver Point Drive, the road forks. The road to the right will wind up the hill to the site of the recording studio. I am not sure if it is gated off as private property. —Preceding [[Wikipedia:Beancountr 14:35, 14 November 2007 (UTC)]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/Beancountr 14:35, 14 November 2007 (UTC)]Beancountr 14:35, 14 November 2007 (UTC)] ([[User talk:Beancountr 14:35, 14 November 2007 (UTC)|talk]]) 21:49, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Update: I visited the entrance to the Ranch last December (2007). It is gated with an elaborate electronic security system as parts of the ranch land have been developed for some high-end housing estates. If you visit the road that leads to the trailhead for the County Park land you can find a map of the area along with the trails that cross through the open space. However, the area containing the barn and other buildings are in an area that is off limits to the hiker. Here is a link to an article this past year that appeared in the Rocky Mountain News concerning the ranch (http://www.rockymountainnews.com/special-reports/the-legend-of-caribou/). There are many websites that mention the ranch. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Beancountr (talk • contribs) 07:53, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

Being bold - but not too bold...

Don't want anyone to be upset by deleting their contributions, so propose - pending feedback - moving the subsection containing a list of artists who recorded at the studio to this talk page for future reference.

I reckon the list as it stands serves no useful purpose, i.e. it's not encyclopedic, and should therefore go. Possibly a chronological order - with dates included - would be better, and maybe specific wikilinked recordings... Regards, --Technopat (talk) 10:41, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

I don't understand why this list would be considered "unencyclopedic". I think it is useful and it is moving towards being well-referenced. ~KvnG 15:44, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

"Country Club"?

Sometime prior to purchase in 1971, this was apparently known as "Caribou Country Club Ranch". Is there any history prior to '71? Interesting to note that the ending credits for Stagecoach (1966 film) mentions "the Caribou Country Club Ranch at Nederland, Colorado" -- So, I linked to this article. 2606:A000:4C0C:E200:E9E4:907C:2027:59D6 (talk) 17:19, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
