The Climax Molybdenum Company donated the land for a high altitude observatory in Climax, Colorado, where University of Colorado weather observers encountered Arctic-like blizzards.
Could be my backyard, take away the mountains and the tank, Kerbey. It also reminds me of the movie “Stripes” when they were playing Army in the winter conditions. Or was it “Volunteers” maybe? I remember Bill Murray and John Candy and Dan Aykroyd in a tank in the snow …
Been there! Used to off-road from Highway 91 which passes through Climax. The trips always seemed to end a little too quickly.

I think I can hear Paul McCartney singing “Spies Like Us” but it’s very vague.

Yes. That was in the soundtrack, Kerbey. And it was ‘Stripes.’ I had to look it up, movie guy that I am.
