On this day, September 7th, Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, was making history!

Michael visits Elton John, who also had a concert in town and spends a few days at the Caribou Ranch with John Barnes where they work on song ideas
This was just after the time that Michael had been diagnosed him with vitiligo, which would mean his skin pigmentation would begin deteriorating over time and he soon would not be able to spend time outdoors in the sunlight.
Michael decided to choose Caribou Ranch as his escape from the hectic nature of the tour and his life, secretly moving his entire staff from the Fairmont Hotel to Park Suite in Denver where he would then be shuttled back and forth to the ranch.
During his stay, Michael took part in the many different outdoor activities available at the ranch. Caribou Ranch owner, James Guercio, gave Michael a three-wheeled Honda all-terrain vehicle for exploring the open space around the ranch.
He also did his fair share of horseback riding and hiking and recorded songs for his upcoming album, Bad, in the Caribou Ranch studio at night.
"He rehearsed every day that he was at the ranch. He had a strenuous exercise program, a personal chef, and was in top form. He was not used to being able to go outside without bodyguards. It was a freedom for him that he was unaccustomed to at that stage of his career," said James Guercio, Caribou's founder.
It is believed that Michael Jackson’s stay at the Caribou Ranch in Nederland, Colorado was the inspiration behind the development of his Neverland Ranch just four years later. After experiencing the one-of-a-kind solitude that the ranch nestled in the Rocky mountains offered, he knew that he wanted a place of his own where he was free to escape adulthood and the constant onslaught of media.
