Colorado and Utah are absolutely the best states to live. I understand that some people might not like how dry it is out here though.
I would drive to Estes Park —> Grand Lake —> Winter Park —> Denver. That’ll take you through Rocky Mountain National Park, so beautiful up there. This requires a permit, unless you enter the national park via Estes before 9AM. I recommend waking up early this weekend anyway to try to avoid the Labor Day weekend traffic.

Denver —> Buena Vista —> Leadville —> Silverthorne —> Loveland Pass (if you’re confident about driving in the mountains) —> Denver would be my other pick if you don’t want to worry about entering the national park prior to 9AM.

The first route goes through two mountain passes. The second route can be done without Loveland Pass if you’re hesitant about driving on a mountain pass. Drive slow and be careful.
Glad you guys liked it, you guys hit some great spots!
Colorado Springs is pretty good value for the state. Denver metro, Boulder, or in the mountains along the 70 corridor is where the expensive real estate is.
We’ve lived in the Denver suburbs for several years now, it’s an amazing place honestly. The people are the friendliest and the best neighbors I’ve lived around. Visiting the mountains whenever I want is great, and the food scene is pretty great up here once you find your spots. People don’t talk about politics much.
I don’t know about you guys but things seem good in my area (Denver metro). People smile and say hi to each other, drivers are mostly reasonable, service at restaurants or wherever is friendly, our neighbors talk and look out for each other. Definitely no signs of anything near collapse.

Skiing should be good this and next week for sure. It’s not a good year by Colorado standards (which are very high), but we were there this last weekend and it was still a ton of fun skiing with the family.
Colorado (Winter Park A Basin Breck), Banff, Snowbird, Mammoth are all known for great spring skiing in April.
That’s something some don’t seem to understand in here. Canada isn’t moving toward China in a vacuum. They’re moving toward China because we’ve treated them, and Europe as well, poorly over the last year.

We appear to be an unreliable ally from their POV. Why wouldn’t they try to find a steadier and less overtly hostile ally?

I hate what’s happening, but we treat our allies negatively for the benefit of China.
Trump’s entire thing is that the US should be more unpredictable. It’s difficult for me to tell when he says stuff like this whether he actually wants us to sit in Venezuela for a decade, or whether he’s just trying to pressure Venezuela’s leadership to give him what he wants.

My guess is he’s attempting to pressure Venezuela, as his actions seem to demonstrate that he is resistant to putting boots on the ground and occupying countries for years. We’ll see what happens I guess.
I think there is likely to be a rightward political shift nationwide across most of the population from stuff like this.
Utah housing has gone absolutely nuts since 2020
This is fantastic news if it’s the right guy. :Usa:
I can’t believe we still haven’t caught this guy. I feel sick. Hoping for good news tomorrow.
I think recent events have pushed many previously reliable Democrat voters I know to the right, either to the point of no longer voting or switching their vote to R completely. I think it’ll be a blowout in midterms next year, especially compared to other recent elections.
I hope you’re right. We need to catch this guy and bring him to justice.
This situation makes me sick. I can’t sleep. I’m praying for Charlie’s soul, his family and friends, and our country. God, please give us the strength to be strong family members and friends in these difficult times.

I am praying for you all.
This is terrible. I’m praying for his family and friends. :(
This is so sad. Praying for his family. :(
Thanks Spartan. I hadn’t seen the referral document. I find it hard to believe that would all be made up.
