This weekend Rob and I checked out Boulder and Fort Collins.
( General impressions )
We had the (mis?)fortune of visiting Fort Collins on the weekend before classes started. The place was a mob. We couldn't park anywhere, flocks of pedestrians were all over, hotels were full, and every few blocks there was a powerful PA system delivering thumpy music to drunk crowds. Ambulances were standing by and I'd be surprised if they went without customers. It is possible Fort Collins would be a bit less awful on any other weekend of the year.
We did see our dream house. About twenty minutes from downtown Boulder, up in the hills, on a couple of acres with a seasonal creek, an aspen grove, beautiful wooded hillsides and hiking trails, and even a cave. This one stole our hearts. It's a little farther from town than we'd like, and we'd still have to figure out how in the world we're going to support ourselves in our new habitat, but man, that place was lovely.
