Joy, there's plenty of us here in Colorado. I'm in Durango, in the sw
corner, kind of out of the way, but that just makes it better. While
in Texas, or on your way out, you can check out Big Bend National
Park. It's pretty amazing. Don't forget the Texas Hill Country. If you
need a spot in that area, I have friends with property on the Blanco
River, and in the Wimberly area,  who would be happy to give you a
beautiful little camping spot. Just say the word and I will set you
up. The same goes for the Durango area, of course.
Happy Trails!!
Miguel
