Which state?

That's the one! Did you go to the evening melodrama?

We missed the melodrama, but we did do Chuckwagon Cookout - singing, campfire, buffalo - ride out in a wagon.

I found the web site with all the attractions - we also wanted to go to Toadstool Park but ran out of time:

Exactly what I was thinking CF.. More like spring followed by 9 months of heat and humidity can't wait to get out


Where I'd like to live.. Vermont!!

Why.. milder summers... real winters... People that are more like minded than they are here.

Not to mention the beatiful mountains, streams, and valleys. Just can't get that in the midwest

I love threads like these! I've spent most of my life (all but the first 8 years) here in Phoenix, and DH was born here. Since I really don't have any frame of reference for climate, soil quality, etc. for the rest of the nation, reading everyone's take on where they live and/or why they want to live somewhere else helps me picture how things are in the rest of the country

Coastal Georgia

After spending the last fourteen years in truley beautiful but rains all the blasted time Ireland I cant wait to introduce my kids to the things I grew up with, heat, sun, humidity, sun,bitey bugs, sun, an ocean that is actually warm enough to swim in, sun, sun and hey, how bout some SUN:banana02:

Avoid Ky. like the plauge. A plauge with cooties on it.

I was stationed at Ft. Carson for a while. (52nd Engineer Battalion attached to the 4th Infantry Division in 1976).

The mountains make me claustrophobic. They block the wind and I feel like I am suffocating. I don't like that you can't see beyond them (sometimes, if you are close enough, you cannot even see UP). I definitely do not like the high altitude as it makes me feel even MORE tired than I do already. I don't like that colorado has lots of DIRT everywhere (I'm used to lots and lots and LOTS of green - here in Missouri, you don't ever see dirt unless you dig a hole).

Also, almost everybody in Colorado are really outdoor nuts. Which is fine if you like that kind of stuff, but there was never anything for me to do there. I am not an outdoor person! Everybody would go on hikes, and bike rides, and kayaking and skiing (in the winter of course), or 4-wheeling, and I just stayed at home on my computer because none of that interested me. I did o go to the Indian Casinos which was fun but you can only afford to lose so much money, so I couldn't go there very often.

What is good about Colorado is that it is low humidity which is wonderful in the summer. Not many bugs either (can't live in the high altitude). And I have to admit one thing. The most beautiful thing I have ever seen in my life was the way that lights look on a very cold, dry winter's night. It's quite magical.

I think that you should definitely GO THERE to experience it for yourself. You might love it - tons of people love Colorado, they just absolutely adore it. But it's just not for me.
