My memories of living in Colorado (I was born in Aurora) - a St. Bernard is a must to pull the sled while trick-or-treating AND it always snowed on my birthday in April
wow.gif


I miss the mountains...that's about it...

this year we set the record, 63 days snow was on the ground. I dunno where everybody get that impression that Colorado covered with snow 9 month a year.
Every year I`m riding through mid December. and back on the road in April...
 
If there was one place I would move back to in a heartbeat it would be Colorado.

#13 & 14 are so true.
 
Depends on how long people have been here.

Before the drought CO had some rather nasty winters.

I adhere to quite a few of those points up there though... which is sad in some cases.
 
I moved to VA in '79 and I do miss the mountains...hubby would never leave the ocean at this point, but a recent trip there (I say recent, more like 1998) I was so sad to come out of the Rockies after road-tripping from Las Vegas only to see how dirty downtown Denver looked that day

The smog was brown and just looked horrid...the mountains were perfect, as always
cool.gif
