Its beautiful Gods country with lots of inspiration. Many go there and never go back they just fall in love. This blog my pictures wouldn't load. They were in the edit screen but not showing up on the post. I had to redo it. There's a second one with updated on the front that has about 30 pics and another arial video. I watched a outdated steemit video on youtube that said to upload the pics on another site and transfer the url. I was doing it the hard way lol and they didn't show up on the post. The second blog on "Garden on the Gods" is much better with more pics. I kept trying to edit the first deleted half of it trying to get the pics to show up. I thought I blew it up with pics or something lol. You will love Colorado and meet a bunch of great artists there to.

That's what I'm hoping, everyone keeps telling me that it's a beautiful state. I'm all kinds of excited about it. Still need to find myself a portable set up though.

I was staying on 40 acres in the center of Colorado in a valley surrounded by the continental divide and Pikes peak national park attached. It was about 9000 ft above sea level. I was staying in a two bedroom 5th wheel while I was trying to build. The summer is short at that elevation and the winter would get -40 degrees. I made it through the first winter but the second winter I moved to Florida after the water and septic froze. Lower elevations and towards the south are not as severe. I was in a community that everyone was off grid generating their own power. There was no mail man or anything. I miss it a lot but mother nature isn't a force to reckon with especially when I have a daughter. Make sure you take some good winter clothes and gear. Makes you feel alive again the challenge of living in remote places.

I know all about winter ;) when I was a kid I had to walk about a half mile through a snow drift taller than I was. Well it was more of leaping. As fun as it was I was frozen about half way home.
