Rocky Mountain High - Colorado One of my favorites places; absolutely beautiful country. I would so love to visit again (sigh).

@libertybele I lived in Denver for several years. Went there to go to gunsmith school,and remained there working in a machine shop after I graduated. Only reason I left is my mother died,and my bleephole father couldn't take care of himself anymore,and refused to move.
Yeah,life in the big city can be hectic,but the advantage Denver had was you could ride out of town for 15-20 minutes,and by Gawd you were seriously OUT OF TOWN.
I lived in a Mexican slum because I was cheap and could rent a furnished apt with utilities for 70 bucks a month. Nobody really bothered me for the most part and I didn't bother anybody else,so there were no real problems. Hell,I even had a credit account at the corner liquor store after breaking up a robbery in there one Saturday night while the owners wife was in there alone.
Get up early Sunday morning,jump on my bike and ride 15-20 miles out of town,and and then pull off the interstate,fire up a fat boy,and admire the sunrise. The only noise to be heard was birds and the occasional noise if an 18 wheeler was passing by. 30 minutes of that would totally eliminate 6 days of "city living stress",and I could hop on the bike and ride back to town,a new man.
Not many big cities anywhere in the country where you could do that.
Unlike most big cities,most of the strangers I met were friendly.
Probably the happiest days of my life. ESPECIALLY after my ex left. It was almost like being born again. Best damn thing that ever happened to me.
