The Pros and Cons of Colorado

There arne't too many things about Colorado that I didn't like, so this list may look a little lopsided. :)

Wes' Pros:
The Mountains
RMNP
Aspen Trees and their leaves turning gold
Elk
Beaver-like animals
Climbing
Rocks
Waterfalls
Lakes
The Beauty
Estes Park Downtown
Comfort 8 Hotel
Climbing to the top of mountains

Amanda’s Pros:
The Vastness
The Mountains
RMNP
Waterfalls
The sounds of running water
Elk
Climbing rocks and getting stuck (what a rush!)
Lakes
Estes Park Shopping
Grand Lake, CO
The Beauty of everything I experienced
Climbing to the tops of mountains and being 13,000 ft high
The neverending things to do


Wes' Cons:
That we're not living there now

Amanda’s Cons:
That we're not living there now
The limited amount of oxygen
The high altitude and what it does to me
(Warning**Gross) My constant need to poo
Gas is expensive in Estes, but comparable to IL everywhere else

So yes, pros and cons, but we're definitely making a plan to move to Colorado sometime in the near future. Beforehand, we just thought we'd retire there. Now, after being in this beautiful state together, we've decided to scratch waiting for retrirement and move there while we're young. We can't wait!!
