Thank you! I was snow shoveling last night with an old timer who mentioned the Albuquerque low, and how it doesn’t snow in southern colorado like it use too. Something about the wet mountains reminds me of the mountains in Pennsylvania / Appalachia, and I hope to explore the range more next year.
@@samrichardson2641 That's coincidental! I moved here to Colorado from Pennsylvania in 1986. You will not be disappointed. I miss the 'Pocono Mountains' in Pa. most of all, much more so than I do areas like Philly, by far. As a matter of fact, I do not miss Philadelphia at all, although the Philly Cheese Steaks, the hoagies and pizza are outstanding, they were not enough to keep me from moving away from the 'hustle and bustle'. Being a truck driver for Waste Management back in those days, I found work with them in Colorado Springs, quit shortly thereafter, moved to Westcliffe and worked construction of log homes mostly, and owned a painting business for a while. I bought a portable band saw mill and built a nice cabin for myself in the 'Wets', near Bear Basin, where I now reside today..
Don't forget to check out 'Bishop's Castle', near San Isabel Lake, if you have not already. It's in the Wet Mountain range, not far from my place. There are a lot of CZcams videos on it.
Great video, thanks! You made it look so easy.
