Well @NPHuskerFL ... Honestly I haven't been on Colfax for 35 years! And I was too young to hustle then.
So I was trusting you. Never again! 
I haven't been to Denver in about 8 years as it is. But my friend in Wheat Ridge keeps me posted.
Cleaned up the neighborhood ...... I shoulda known better.

Ha that's how I order my Martinis. They ask how dirty and I say colfax dirty. Works every time. We live central denver and love it. Most of the fams we know move to highlands ranch for schools.

Grew up out there on the Eastern plains. Went to school in Fort Collins. Great city tons of brewery's. Just over and hour from DIA. We always talk of moving back there

We just relocated to CO - Fort Collins specifically - let me know if we can help with anything

Welcome I live in Colorado Springs where the real estate is much more affordable than Denver or the Denver suburbs. But is about 2 hours from the Denver airport if lucky. You might want to check out Longmont and the area north of Denver. E470 toll road makes the area north of Denver very accessible to the airport. North Colorado Springs is within the 2 hour commute to the airport. Probably about an hour to Centinnal (sp) where a lot of the IT stuff is located.
We will talk about cooking at altitude later. -
Hmmm. 2hr. to DIA. Easy choice. WYOMING.

I have been working and vacationing in Colorado for many years. Unfortunately I had never thought I would be getting a relo here, and as such the only places I know is the gas station, food stores, outdoor gear stores, and um, maybe one or two liquor stores."Knowledge is Good" - Emil Faber

Looking at Red Feather Lakes Colorado. One of the homes has an XL BGE on the patio. Worth the price if he throws that in.

This is what I mean, when I am talking how much the BGEs cost you, after you buy them. I am looking for houses that have suitable locations for our BGEs, and offer a view under a sheltered porch, guess what? Every freakin' one of them are tremendously more expensive. Go figure."Knowledge is Good" - Emil Faber

Your trip looks awesome!
At least you're not spazzing out yet about moving your eggs. -
Honest as heck, I have started thinking about it. I called my BGE dealer, and asked them to save me the packaging for an XL.DoubleEgger said:

Wouldn't it be nice if there was an exchange program where you could drop off your egg at a nearby dealer and pick up an equivalent one at another BGE dealership close to your new locale? Pipe dream. Anyway, great thinking on your part asking for the packaging material well in advance.YukonRon said:...

I live in Fort Collins (northern Colorado). It is also a college city but is a great place to live if you have a family. Real estate prices are better here than the Denver metro area where the prices are insanely high right now. We are an hour away from DIA.

You have a lot of questions and I would be glad to try and answer them. As I said I live in the springs and was coming home from Ft. Collins and there was a 7 car pile up on North bound I-25 between Ft.Collins and E 470 and it took over an hour and a half to go that short distance. There are a lot of people that commute from here to Denver. North Co. Spgs. is a no brainer. My telephone number is 719 527-6880. If I cannot answer your questions I have two nieces, 2 nephews-in laws, nephew, niece-in law and a sister in law that live in Denver or Denver area.

Thank you, Bill. I will ask about Red Feather Lake, Is that a decent area for empty nesters, and people that enjoy the outdoors, and snow sports?bill37 said:You have a lot of questions and I would be glad to try and answer them.

Ron I am not familiar with Red Feather Lake but I will find out. Where is it?
-
I just googled it and it is pretty remote. Elevation is 7,890ft so it will get a lot of snow. Where are you living now.
-
Google said it is 1 hour and 58 minutes to the Denver airport. The population is 525.

I lived there for about ten years and my wife is a Colorado girl. Peggy Worthington helped us sell and buy houses in the Denver area and knows the area really well. It's looking like we may retire there in a few years. Peggy's website is www.peggyworthington.com/

We live in Louisville. We, as a family, are avid outdoor enthusiasts, as well as, ski and snowboarding bums. We have been in the Rockies quite a bit, the Alps and the Andes frequently as well. Over the last 45 years, I have had the chance to summit all 53 of the 14ers.bill37 said:I just googled it and it is pretty remote. Elevation is 7,890ft so it will get a lot of snow.

Colorado or the mountains somewhere in the west, was going to be where we wanted to retire, so we were thinking about a place with some elevation.
A couple years ago, we were there in July, around 9000 ft, and got snow.
Bill, thank you so much for the kindness and help. I appreciate all you have done.

We are looking as far north as Wyoming at this point so nothing is off the table. I am looking at both those locations very seriously.QDude said:Trust me. Fort Collins or Windsor!"Knowledge is Good" - Emil Faber

Regardless of where you move to in CO, I would recommend going to Fort Collins and taking the tour of the New Belgium Brewing Company.
