MW, have you been looking for places in Colorado still? I live in southern Colorado and you may like this area better than Denver and northern regions. Check out farther south like Colorado Springs, Pueblo or Canon City. Check out this website for housing in Fremont County. I think you just might be interested becuase it is smaller town atmosphere. The weather is also milder than the northern regions.
