SW - The southwest location is right in the middle of Jim Baker Reservoir. We could easily meet out one of those little land tendrils going out to the middle of the reservoir and play games. It's in Avarda, so it's close to a lot of people wanting to travel in the city of Denver. If someone wants to carpool, let's start a little thing for that too. - Michael
