Colorado
When we return home to Colorado, we continue to appreciate the scenery. We live at 7500+' altitude (2300 meters) in a forested area with snow-capped (most of the year) mountains within view. With some frequency we see deer, fox, coyote, racoon, porcupine, great-horned owl, and other wildlife come through our yard. Elk and a bear have been visitors also. Summer is glorious; we open our windows in June and close them in September. No air conditioning needed. The mountain lakes only open up for boating trips when the ice finally melts. Winter, of course, brings snow, but most days stay bright and sunny. We have our choice of several major snow skiing resorts. Our worst problem is the rapid population growth along the Front Range of Colorado.
Boating on Lake Granby. A bimini top is almost a necessity, due to the intense sun at high altitudes. This is a runabout that I personally designed and built.
