Colorado is one of my favorite states! The Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Colorado Plateau are all so beautiful! Have you ever been?
Yes, I went to college in Leadville Colorado. I miss it a lot.
The state seems to really be growing! From 2010 to 2016 the state population grew to 5.5 million! That's a 10.17% increase!
Wow, it will be full soon and the new age hippies will have to go some place else.
