Club members are celebrating Colorado's 150th anniversay by hanging out at Weld County's Fort Vasquez in Platteville!
We are operating as W0V.
W for Weld County
0 for the greatest call area in the USA
and V for Vasquez.
The fort was built in 1835 mainly to trade with the Cheyenne and Arapaho for buffalo robes. Three other trading posts were established in the area within a few years and competition was fierce but short-lived. The fur trade waned and all of the forts were out of business by 1848. The other forts in the area were Fort Jackson, Fort Lupton, and Fort St. Vrain.
