For those of you that knows me here in the blogs knew exactly how I'd like to see Colorado. Ever since 2007 the first state in the US that intrigue me the most is Co. I have seen it so many times in the movie, and I am mesmerized by it's beauty and also another reason is that something very personal.Let's not talk about it.
Finally October of 2020 the husband and I packed our bags and head north to Colorado to see the picturesque beauty of the Rockies. On the way there, I was totally shocked how different their landscape in comparison to the daily normal that I see in the south. Some a little similar in some ways but the big picture is totally opposite. In the south we have so many trees and going north you can see nothing but an empty space filled with nothing, There's a little dry grass here and there. It was so dusty and windy that you can see tumble weeds all over the places,. Husband and I stop at one point to pick up a piece of tumble weed. ha. ha! We always see it in Matt Dillons show (Gun Smoke) so we were curious exactly what it felt to touch it with our own hands.
As we were driving, We saw a lot of windmills. That was the first time I saw such thing and I didn't realize how big they were. Husband park his truck close to one of the Windmill and we took a few photos. It was so cool to see it in person, and there were thousands of them along the hi-way. Then on our last day we plan to shot some prairie dogs in one of the town in Colorado. It is legal to shot prairie dogs in private land. Farmers allow you to let you do it in their ranch you just have to ask permission to the owner. Prairie dogs are nuisance to some of the ranchers because they make hole on the ground, and cows or horses may accidentally step on it and break their legs, that is the reason why some ranchers let you get in their property and shot as many as you can. But anyhow, that was so much fun.
That is one of husband's and I memorable trip together. We see and experience a lot of first together. Questions if I would like to go back to Colorado and explore some more? Probably not in the near future. I would love to see Wyoming next and Idaho and Oregon. . But for sure our Colorado trip was one for the books.
