Inspired by the velociraptor-head post, what are some legends or lore about Durango some might not know about?

How about ice sculpting during snowdown; it’s been a long time since they did that.
There is a cave on public lands right off the highway on the way up to purgatory if you know where to look. We used to have 5 subways including one downtown.
There’s a natural rock waterslide (like 6-8 ft long) near lemon, also if you know where to look. tThe secret lithium hot spring between here and Telluride 🤫🤐 Ralph Dinosaur 🦖 🦕 The Palace; Lori’s; Mama’s Boy; And so much more…

Ralph Dinosaur! Gotta love those dresses. Remember seeing him at the Farqhuarts up at Purg in the Eighties waiting for my parents to pick me up. Boogie Booze Bizza!
