Who knows Zep, it could be a Southern thing. Which doesn't make sense to the rest of us any way.
I highly suggest hiking the sangre de cristos. Penetente canyon is absolutly wicked. esp if you climb.

One of the coolest places in colorado is the royal gorge. Black canyon of the gunnison is really cool too.

What's up zepp, nice pics.

I did the colo stint for 7 years. Lived in Denver but visited the four corners up to WY to gunnison to winter park/a-basin/keystone/breck/vail (lol) /copper/loveland to Pikes Peak to Cripple Creek to Grand Junction to Durango to Colo Springs to Pueblo, etc.

I'm 30 years cali now but I guess that's still not as bad as a Texan. :)

I will most likely be back in colorado this fall, probably will move to denver. boulder, the springs or durango.

I will hit you up before I go kelly. Me and my brother will probably travel out there, if I can get the cash together. We can all toke it up, I'll bring some hash

I have lived in Denver, Boulder and Durango, and I might as well have lived in the Springs. I RECOMMEND Durango if you're looking for a small town atmosphere, although it is pretty isolated and can tend to feel a little small sometimes, but hey, thats what I was going for!! :wave: Durango has some great breweries also, Ska, Carver, Steamworks, all make delicious brews. I recommend the Pin Stripe Red Ale from Ska- of the DIFF if it is in season, it is a seasonal for the "Durango International Film Festival"- biggest thing to hit Durango since sliced bread.

Other than that, Boulder and Denver are both great if you're looking for a slightly larger city with ready access to an airport should you need it for any reason....

I'm not a huge fan of the Springs itself.... a little too conservative for my tastes, with the Air Force Academy, lots of military folk running around. However some of the "cities" just to the west of the Springs, Florissant, Woodland Park, Green Mountain Falls, Cripple Creek, Salida, etc are bea:smile:utiful.
Good luck with whatever you choose....... *cough* ........Durango

HOWEVER, if you're looking to find yourself a lady Durango may not be the place for you......... Lookers are few and far between, and hunted by the many males in the city, reminded me of a television dating show down at the bars. The other 97% of the women in that town are affectionately known as "Durangotans,"........ good thing the beer is good:D

Durangotans................Durangotans...........no??? nobody?? Like Durango+Orangutans......no?
Just kidding, but I still laugh about that name to this day.
Ahhhhh, chuckles. Time to spark up some a taster bowl of my BB Blue Cheese and open a tall, cool Sunshine Wheat and wish I was kayaking in Colorado right now instead of....... well, this isn't too bad :D
