A reader writes in - Hi: When I feel lonely during this time of the winter season, all I have to do is check this site to see my favorite Colorado small town of Bonanza. I miss my log hill mountain cabin over looking the beautiful village of Bonanza. Fabian from Albuquerque, NM
A viewer writes - I am looking forward to my trip to Bonanza . . . my fiancée and I will be married there on the 7th of September (Friday!) 2007 - James, Ponca City, Okla.
A viewer writes - My family has 2 cabins on main street in Bonanza. Can't believe some of the cabins are still standing and the creek doesn't look orange anymore. My sister and I used to throw rocks and walk around in that creek. I haven't been back to Bonanza in over 7 years. When I was a kid we went to Bonanza every summer. Thanks for sharing your pictures I enjoyed your website. - Susan from Broken Arrow, Okla.
