After living in the Pacific Northwest for an extended period of time, living in Colorado is very beautiful because of the mountains here, as well as the sunshine. Having Pikes Peak right out front is a wonderful thing, and the Front Range is one of nature’s delights.

Still, I remember the smell of salt water in the breeze, and what it was like to ride on a boat in open water. Catching fish right off of the dock, and riding on the ferry boats while the dolphins played off of the bow were pleasures I will not forget.
