Joanne, you got me! I usually have my camera with me and the sunset was just to pretty tonight. Also I am the only one writing (blogging) about the area. I'm getting "found" and out of towner's are interested in the area.
Carole, from what little I know about you from your blogs I think you would like Colorado. But then again I think just about everyone likes Colorado. It is the peace and serenity that most enjoy even just for a short time.
George, it amazes me how much open land scares some people, not you. Our ancestors managed just fine and so can we. But what I think scares people is being without others around, a phone signal, TV reception,a convenience store, etc... We probably all know people who are afraid of being alone with their own thoughts. Me, I love it. I grew up in Los Angeles and the thought of being there again scares me. Can you imagine living on 160 acres and so are your neighbors? It's quiet.
