Remarks: It was fun to visit those parts for the first time in several decades. It's pretty country and real different from Colorado! Any of the large lakes, not even counting the Great Lakes, has more water in it than the entire state of Colorado. On the whole, though, I prefer to live in the West, which I've now called home for nearly 30 years.
