A friend of our son Megan Aaron lives there and we want to see her before heading home. Fort Collins is according to one report we heard recently the second most popular place to live in the country. On the way we spotted a Wind Energy Farm. This was a huge facility that seemed to go on fore http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/Colorado/Fort-Collins/blog-300353.html We finally arrived at Denver airport after an eventful journey. This is to be the starting point of our road trip around the wild west and probably more.But first we had to pick up our hire car........Would you believe our troubles were not overWe had booked and paid for a hire car for 47 days but they had us down for 17 daysSeveral hours later after heated discussion and many phone calls http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/Colorado/Fort-Collins/blog-287704.html FINALLY I hear you all cry. Yes it has been a while since the last entry. Sorry for the delay but i've either been too busy or not had access to the internet. Apologies.So then on to Colorado. It was here that i was to meet up with some chums i had met on my previous trip. The names of the poor unfortunates are Reilly and Marissa and for those of you who followed the previous trip you shou http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/Colorado/Fort-Collins/blog-260465.html This is simply a little diddy to get me started. Hopefully throughout my travels throughout Europe during the coming summer I will find ample time to reflect on the emotions sights sounds and so fourth. Sit down and share some amusing antidotes with my family and friends. Since I've yet to begin this trip I can only start with my preparations Check list checked bag pack three months early http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/Colorado/Fort-Collins/blog-248960.html Sorry it's taken awhile for me to do this. There is a blizzard outside we're expected to get ten inches between today and tomorrow so this is a good time to sit in front of the computer for half an hour or so.Last week was a lot of fun. Mom John and I flew to Colorado the night before Thanksgiving and stayed in Fort Collins until Sunday afternoon.The Thanksgiving dinner was at Rose and Jim' http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/Colorado/Fort-Collins/blog-224281.html Planning requires a leap of faith. In order to plan you must assume you have control over future events. You assume things will play out as you expect. You assume you will not find yourself halfdelirious and sleepdeprived wondering if it's possible to rent a room by the hour in the middle of the night somewhere in the Rocky Mountains. You assume because you had a plan. And that my friend http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/Colorado/Fort-Collins/blog-219100.html Well my apartment still has not been cleaned. Laundry has been done plants look wonderful thanks to my very benevolent neighbor Danielle and watered and now finally the Travel Blog has been completed. I was back at work early on the 10th and someone had written We Really Missed You on my white board. I honestly love my job. It's not backpacking across the UK but I do get to play in http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/Colorado/Fort-Collins/blog-204631.html I participated in the Ridinrsquo the Rockies HOG Touring Rally that was held June 2528 2007. The plan for the week was to spend some time with my cousins before the rally started then take the long way home after the rally. I rode my 2005 833 Sportster from KC to the rally and back home. The following is a ride report of the ride. It is divided in to parts because of the pictures. Monday 25 Ju http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/Colorado/Fort-Collins/blog-178643.html Well the Geesers are finally going to hit the road and I set up this blog site for them. See if Mom will actually use it now I will probably have to walk her through it a time or two. I just wanted to test this to see if it was going to work for them. Wish them well on their trip And I hope that they make some good memories Kim.... http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/Colorado/Fort-Collins/blog-172199.html Grandmama's move started really happening last week Although there's still a lot of work to be done at the old house I'm feeling very proud of the fact that so much was accomplished in one week. Here's a recap of each day Sunday My plane arrived in Colorado at about 830 and I got to Grandmama's house at about 1130AM and saw Uncle John and Uncle David right away working in the garage. http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/Colorado/Fort-Collins/blog-171311.html We stopped in Durango to visit our friends Jim and Becky Rodefer whom we met and traveled with last year in Alaska. Located on the edge of the mountains in picturesque southwestern Colorado Durango is a real outdoorsmanrsquos paradise with great hunting fishing skiing and whitewater rafting readily available in the area. It is also home to the Durango and Silverton narrowgauge railroad http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/Colorado/Fort-Collins/blog-153472.html In case you haven't figured it out yet I like to go on hikes where the landscape is dominated by unique rock formations and geology. Horsetooth Mountain certainly satisfies that desire. At the mountain's summit is Horsetooth Rock a formation that can be seen from Ft. Collins below. Horestooth Mountain Park is one of several Larimer County Open Space parks and provides nearly 30 miles of hiking http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/Colorado/Fort-Collins/blog-146547.html Nachdem man gestern ohne Probleme mit TShirt bei 25 und sonnenschein draussen rumlaufen haette koennen hat es ueber nacht mal wieder geschenit und damit ist es auch wesentlich kaelter. was ist so passiert in den letzten tagen. wie haben und mittlerweile in der stadt ein bisschen umgesehen. die innenstadt war zwar vorbild fuer einen teil von disney wolrd weil es wirklichdie typische amerikanisc http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/Colorado/Fort-Collins/blog-143158.html Wie der name erneut schon vermuten laesst bin ich mittlerweile in denver gelandet und zur zeit in fort collins wo die CSU ist. colorado state university. aber erst mal zur konferenz die ja noch bis samstag ging. es verlief letztendlich alles recht erfolgreich. wir haben an zwei resolutionen massgeblich mitgearbeitet in denen sambische formulierungen stehen mit konnten also parner finden mit dene http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/Colorado/Fort-Collins/blog-142247.html Hi After a pretty slow session in NZ I was keen to find a mountain with lots of snow on it I could slide down while making loud WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH noises. So when a holiday came up before the SA job I headed over to Colorado Springs............which is in Colorado. My first mission was to organise my transport up to a friends place in Fort Collins. The lady in hotel office was trying to talk me in http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/Colorado/Fort-Collins/blog-140858.html Today is the first day of the wedding blog. Not real exciting but here to keep y'all up to date on what Nickey and I are doing with the wedding some pictures and on our honeymoon if you care. I'll get around to putting some pictures up here soon but for now just an intro.Cody http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/Colorado/Fort-Collins/blog-135076.html Got up superearly latenight rains again in NE. The rest of the drive back home was probably the most boring leg of the entire bit plus there were cops everywhere mind you the drive through eastern Colordado is about as desolate as it gets. Finally pulled into my driveway just before 11 am. To tell you the truth it was kind of sad I felt like I could have just kept driving maybe out http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/Colorado/Fort-Collins/blog-72961.html
