5. Travel to Colorado

Ok, so I cheated, but only slightly. The original task was "travel to California." But, the premise behind it was to get off the east coast and travel westward beyond Wild, Wonderful West Virginia, and see a state that I've always wanted to see. And so, when the opportunity arose to visit some friends in Colorado, I jumped on it and decided to mark this as complete.

Really, not much can be said about this trip. It was amazing, like nothing I had ever seen. I got to spend time with one of my new friends (yet another re-checking off of that task) as we hiked our butts off around western Colorado and Utah. One thing this trip did do for me, is to instill in me a desire to see the rest of great country. The diversities of the earth just between the two oceans is miraculous!

And so, since a picture is worth the thousand words that I don't have... here you go.
