Kissing Camels bring back so many memories.  You just have to keep making us dream, don't you?  My wife and I love the area and my aunt lives there and I grew up there.  Very good, concise report.  Thank you for the reminder of how nice a place it is.

Wayne:   It is such a great area to live -- I remind myself to never take it for granted.   If you ever come back and visit, let me know!

Kathy - I just came back from your area. It is truly a beautiful city and I've seen snow for the first time in a long time. I've enjoyed the scenery, not to mention the balanced rock. My daughter is interning in Loveland for Hearts and Horses as a Therapeutic Riding Instructor, which was the reason for my trip. Not to mention her fiancee is attending the Air Force Academy and will graduate next year. Thanks for sharing.

I take it for granted also. I live where I can wake up and walk out on the deck and have my morning coffee while I watch the deer graze and the blue birds carry worms.

I am spoiled.

Kathy, Great post and I only live 2 hours away in Summit County and never realized Colorado Springs has made that many lists. The sad things is I should know we do quite a bit of business with buyer's from the springs! Good job and thanks for the education!
