Re: Perfect place to live?

[Chris Paus <paus@micoks.net>]

My sister lives in Colo Springs, but has just bought a ranch near a more
beautiful part of Colo -- La Veta, it's near Walsenburg. Very pretty. If
you go a little further west, you are near Alamosa, where land is cheaper,
but water is scarce -- and the prickly pear is there to prove it.

I also love Craig/Steamboat Springs area. However, most of my family hails
from Utah (not mormons) and that is every bit as pretty as Colo, but not as
"discovered" yet.
