Happy New Year, laranger!

I miss CO. We (my Mom & I) moved from Montbello to Monte Vista after my dad died (he's buried in Ft. Logan), then after she re-married, we moved back, first to Montbello, then to Greeley. That was in the mid-70s. We wound up moving back to CA in '84, first to Pleasanton, then to Sta Rosa where I lived until '03. Since then I'm here in Reno. Mt Rose just isn't Long's Peak, and Virginia City just isn't Estes Park. Home is where the heart is, and while I have lots of good memories of CA, nothing beats the years I spent in Greeley.

Congrats on your promotion. And go Rockies! I was born & spent some really good years home in Colorado. I really miss driving up the Big Thompson to Estes Park and seeing the Stanley as you come out of the canyon--beautiful place. And I miss camping at Ben Delatour Ranch up by the Red Feather Lakes, and I miss seeing Long's Peak out on the horizon. Mt. Rose & the Sierras are nice, but they just aren't the same.
