I live in Glenwood Springs, CO - 40 miles north of Aspen, 30 miles west of Vail and 160 miles west of Denver. We've lived here for 11 1/2 years. Albuquerque, NM prior to that. I lived in Howard, SD for 1 year (spent all my summers there as a kid) and grew up in southern and central coast of California.
I love Colorado, but I MISS THE BEACH!
