Well, one thing that makes me chuckle is the fact that Alferd Packer, the famous cannibal is from Lake City - so maybe someone is eating those 20% of tourists that don't return....MAYBE they just disappear!

Haha....on a more realistic note there's nothing more ironic than making marketing campaigns and advertising for people to come drive to experience the solitude - kind of a Catch-22 in my book. 

I'm definitely not one of those "I moved here, but now you can't", go back to Texas types....but I think the word is out on how nice Colorado is. It doesn't need more advertising. As for the people of Lake City, be careful what you wish for. Lots of other Colorado mountain towns might have something to say about it, I'm guessing.
