A couple of initial observations about Colorado:
1) Everybody tailgates. Bigly. It's seriously not cool. 83 mph and attached to my rear bumper? Apparently that's called a "Colorado hello!"
2) People here love to haul crap around. Bikes. Camping equipment. Bikes. Fishing gear. Furniture. Hardware. Did I mention bikes? What they DON'T like to do is properly secure their load. "Three mountain bikes, a tent, fishing gear, and a 8 cu. ft. cooler attached to the roof/trunk of my car? Doable. Just need to attach it with some twine I got at the UPS store, some leftover Xmas ribbon, and this old leather belt. Looks secure to me!" Well, it's not. In fact, following you on a mountain road without the ability to get around you is mildly terrifying (pic above for comedic effect).
3) Tattoos. Apparently, when you establish residency and get your Colorado driver's license, you're required to get a minimum of three. In fact, I'll bet there's a little tattoo parlor next to the DMV photo booth.
4) Trucker hats. See above.
5) People are friendly. This is a plus. Everybody likes to chat and say hello and/or wave. Perhaps it's the midwestern influence.
6) My yard is choked with deer. It's like having giant, mutant gophers.
7) The weather is schizophrenic. Coming from California, this is a little jarring. I thought it was a joke about keeping a jacket/rain jacket in your car 24-7, because you never know. News Flash: it's not a joke.
8) It's beautiful here. Kinda awesome in that regard.
