My parents are putting their property above Cotopaxi up for sale next week (Co. 1a, cross 50, turn left on Spruce Basin).

My favorite area is around South Fork. I'll be up there in a couple of weeks. Spending a few days in Walsenburg (Lathrop) and going to play in the Dunes and Sangres with my new Jeep.

Nearly broke my foot here the last time I went... twice. But this is one of my places. On top of this double rock slide lies a 2km long lake, and at the end of the lake is a cabin which was used by Russian refugees during the invasion in WW2. The lake is surrounded by cliffs that rise up to 400 meters, and is 300 meters wide at the widest. You feel small in such environments.

I said the colorado rockies, not the Colorado people. I live in Montana now, all Colorado has over this place is the peaks are taller and the community is slightly better, more elite runners there. At the price of too many hippies.

For me, my "perfect place" has a lot to do with nostalgia. I grew up loving the Smoky Mountains/Lower Appalachians, so that's the wilderness that I love the most, even if I've been places that other people might consider more "majestic" or whatever.

Wow, I wouldn't expect there to be such a large room inside that hydroelectric dam from the picture. It also doesn't seem like enough water pressure and drop to create much power, is this just for some single rich person's house or a small community-built turbine?

That's enough power for at least 150 houses, pretty impressive. So does this power a little community or just that one little cabin?

How much is that place, if it includes 80 acres and a hydroelectric dam?

It's too damn dry and hot and there are way too many people, not to mention that the state government is fully going full potato. The only thing Colorado has going for it is the altitude and the hunting - and even then only elk, pronghorn and elk.

If you do end up buying it, please make a thread or blog about your progress. I'd very interested in reading about it.

Since that looks like a cold, snowy winter kind of place, you should check out this video series about this guy who made a DIY aquaponics green house.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLHt-lhD_oc

That's just a quick time-lapse video, but the actually series showing how he built it is probably like an hour long, but very interesting.

At the end of this dock just over the okanagan lake.
On a clear night it's incredible for star gazing, and all across the water you can see little glowing fires and lights, and they reflect. It's beautiful, and an incredible sight.

Wish I had a pic, but that wouldn't do it justice anyways.
