Moving to Colorado!

“but our high country is getting slowly bulldozed by urban sprawl. Soon the wilderness will all be gone and the little patches left will be like urban parks.

At least it will take some time for urban sprawl to destroy Colorado's beauty.”

“At least it will take some time for urban sprawl to destroy Colorado's beauty.�

Its getting there.”

“awesome Bison, glad to hear you madeit out there alright. Now it's time for you to get a digital camera and start hiking and taking pictures on the trail.”

“ENS I got a hand me down digital camera from my dad so I'll be postin' pics soon.

Oh, did I forget to mention that In addition to seeing Mt. Evans out my window I can also see the hot tub in my backyard?”

“and a webshots page too....

also a live web cam, and lots of hot babes for the hot tub.”

“I lived in Colorado from 1979 to 1984 and did make a return visit until 2001

the numbers of large new houses just west of Golden in the foothills was unbelievable and the exit and road into Evergreen was unrecognizable. Oh well.

“Right. Had a similar experience when I returned to Minnesota after 25 years. This changing applies almost everywhere.

The world today is not the one in which I experienced my early years. Today it sucks, from more people, more traffic lights, more contamination, more athletic teams, to more crime. But some things have improved like drugs, medical facilities and medical care. If not for these improvements I would be ashes. Hmmm, I could be resting in peace with no more mountains to climb.”

I hear ya bro, 's great ain't it?!

“Yeah man, they got cocoa rocks now.”

“Here are some Pics from my move:

“What are you greeted by at the welcome center when you first get to Colorado?



Guess I came to the right place.”

“So, how excited did you get when you saw the state line and later when you first glimpsed the mtns? I'd have been pumped.”

“he he, nice bison, er, bison.

When we drove out here, I'd been telling my daughter how cool the mountains would look and when we finally got within 'range' of being able to see them I pointed out the windshield and said "There, Sarah - look at that!"

She looked up and said, 'yeah, I see it'.

THen she looked again and said "WOW! I thought those were clouds!!!"”

“Roam, I just got back from a 5.2 mile loop at Roxborough, Trip report and pics in a minute.”

“Well, OK I'm not moving TO Colorado, but rather within Colorado. Just an FYI to my fellow CO TTers, I'm relocating to Ft. Collins starting next month.”

“You'll be much closer to us and Rocky Mtn National Park!”

“I just thought I'd let everyone know that I'm not moving to CO.”

“Your loss!”

“Yeah, much less of a commute for full moon snowshoeing!”

“What 15 minutes is too long?”

“I'm tacking onto Adventurists post! Seeing as how I got to meet him this past weekend and all. :D

I'm movin' to COLORADO!!!!!!

Buh bye flatlands.... Helllooooo mountains!!

So... If you're looking for the Knob Creek, you know where to find me. ;)”

“good luck and don't let the door hit ya on the way out :-O”

“Congrats!”

“Congratulations and good luck! It sounds like it's an exciting move.”

“Nice! We still have never really hiked together. Gives me an excuse to head west now.”

““Nice! We still have never really hiked together. Gives me an excuse to head west now.” ~ Wounded Knee

Yes, indeed! Come west well after I've acclimated, then I can make you suck wind, too! :D

Adventurist, T-Mac, EddieS, and Roam Around just that to me last weekend after having a day to acclimate! :D”

“Thanks everyone! So much to do, so little time!”

“Good Luck! We East Coasters will miss you!!”

“Congrats, and best of luck to you Ms. D!
What takes you to CO? Well uh, besides the obvious BP stuff.”

“Weenie”

“Holy Crap - your moving here?”

“Weenie”

You mean you think she needs more reason? Please find the Glacier Gorge thread and view pics.”

“There is no need to make me hate the hoosier state more tonight Roam. Perhaps tomorrow...”

“yeah, there's always tomorrow isn't there.”

“http://s29.photobucket.com/albums/c257/cowgirlatheart74/Boulder%202007/

Yep, that's pretty much it. Pretty, pretty mountains and pretty backpacker boys. ;) Now... if I could figure out a way to transplant my small collection of backpacker boys I have stashed in other areas of the country....

Hmmmm”

“Pennsylvania is so much cooler!!”

“We've never even hiked together, but I know you'll miss me, ENS. Well, at least my Creek Water. ;)

Spindlette and N_G have been trying to move me to PA for the last year and a half. I love PA, but it's no CO.”

“Didn't Lilmountaingirl become a dental floss tycoon?”

“Gorgeous, snow covered mountains with no oxygen or humidity.

How could anyone find that appealing. ;)

You suck so bad I'm happy for you. :D”

“get stuffed...............”

“oh darn. You guys said if we wore her out on that hike she wouldn't move here.

Congrats!!!! :-)”

“Yes, you suck.

I think they shouldn't let anyone live in Colorado. It's not fair to the rest of us.”

“It takes a little more than sucking for air to keep me away, Adventurist. ;)

lol!

Thanks!

I heard something about lunch at the end of the month? I start the new job on the 28th. ;)”

“I've wanted to move to Colorado since 1985 when I visited the first time. In 1986 I applied to the University of Colorado at Boulder. They accepted my application but I couldn't afford their tuition. Over 20 years later I still dream of moving to Colorado.

You are making that dream happen for you MsDoolittle. Good luck!”

“Thanks, Bateaux! I've been trying to move west for about 10'ish year myself. Everything is just now coming together for me to be able to do it. :)

Good times are ahead, I'm sure!”

“I finally get to meet you and you're buggin' out.

Won't you miss the bugs and 90/90 heat and humidity?”

“Nanner nanner. California still has bigger mountains. Nanner nanner...”
