(4,575 posts)Denver sings about in Rocky Mountain High.
I haven't been up there for a while but it is both majestic and bucolic with streams and creeks, forests, mountains and rolling green meadows. Occasionally there's a house. If you want to live away from others that's the place.
Boebert should never have represented a place so beautiful. I'll be glad when she makes her exit in January.
Cha
(297,196 posts)all the beauty of those creeks, streams, mountains,
I never knew she rep all of those areas in Colorado.. that could very well be her Downfall! 🤞🤷?♂️💖🤞

(65,010 posts)6,000 votes to be counted is 2%. There were 300,000 votes in that district?
Wow! Only 220,000 votes were cast in our district. (IL-1)
Zambero
(8,964 posts)In time Colorado may add yet another congressional district.
ProfessorGAC
(65,010 posts)IL-1 is a reasonably high population density. There's a city of 165k in the western part and southern parts of Chicago & the burbs.
The lines were just redrawn to get population similarity after overall state population fell. (We lost 1 house seat.)
Seems odd they'd have a population difference of 40% compared to us.
Zambero
(8,964 posts)At a minimum each state has one House seat. Montana had a single house seat until this year, and now there are two. Some states lose seats with a declining population. Even California lost a seat this cycle. The census info is the basis for making those adjustments every 10 years. I'm not sure what a state's population threshold for adding a second seat might be, although Montana's current population would be a good indication.
ProfessorGAC
(65,010 posts)The situation of a state so lightly populated that it only gets one seat (WY, AK, ND) is a separate conversation.
Population divided by 438 is roughly 780k.
In looking at our IL map, I see that number.
So, I guess I'm still surprised there's that big a difference in the vote count.
Perhaps their % of participation was far higher than here.

(14,891 posts)My second Big USA trip in '80. Instead of going all through to California I headed to So Dakota. Going up though CO we stopped for lunch there.
And at that time also in the '70s, ? late '60s a lot certain kinds of "mail to" stuff was sent to PO BOX in...
Pueblo, CO. 😁
Cha
(297,196 posts)never got to Pueblo but we used to go to Glenwood Springs for the Hot Springs.. we actually went there on our Senior Trip!
Grateful Puelble is a Blue City . and Garfield Co!
Will have to look up that place
You'll like this, I think. Longish story at your leisure. 👍
When I left SD to eventually go to Flagstaff, AZ as a different jump off point...first I stopped in CO.
There was Colorado Springs where I tour the tour to
The Air Force Academy, and Garden of The God's. While on one of their main streets and centers I looked northwest, and bam and there was Pike's on the not to distance! Wow!
Now heading south visit my cousin studying at CO University in Denver was I disappointed to see that
"The Rockies" were not like that! Not sooo close.
See my mom had been at the Jewish Hospital for Respitory Illnesses for 5+ months (slightly different name now) and what I wrote here is not quite it either! This is like 45-50 years ago. Really helped her. She'd mentioned The Rockies. Got the wrong impression of distance.
My cousin picks me up from the Bus Station to go back to the house he shares with a roommate. We have lunch. He wants to find the Coors ?Red Rider Race. But first we have to go to the bank.
However the roomie has taken the car. It's motorcycle time! I have Never been on one. 😮 Off we go, and return.
He tells me "that was a test". And I passed. Was testing how I did on it. Some people held on way too tight. Others didn't lean into the turn making it harder to turn.
"You're a natural". Must have been all the bycicle riding I did on other cousin's bikes in the towns in NJ. 😄
Off we went. Took me first to Red Rocks Amphitheatre. So beautiful! Then to Golden, Co. Visit the Old Opera House.
Finally...up...up...Up to Echo Lake. 🧡
Mt Evans Southwest of us still a bit snow capped. Pass wouldn't clear till later in July. Then the lake 10,500 ft up.
Then looking pass it on it's long axis northwest blued by distance a string of snow capped Mountains...
The Continental Divide. Near swoon at the Majesty.
Finally as well started returning, and rounded the mountain we stopped again - a valley triangle point at top we above it spanning downard, forward into a widening base. NO roads cutting through it ~ thousands of ?fir trees. So beautiful.
Yours is an amazingly beautiful 🧡 State! From mountains down to high desert in the Four Corners area.
ETA:
Googled up Glenwood. Saw a lovely slide show of the area! 👍🧡
Cha
(297,196 posts)long ago.. Obviously made quite an impression on you.
And, made me Nostalgic for my home state! Those Rockies are Breathtaking.. you hit a lot of the amazing Geography there.
I might still be there but my family moved to Phoenix when I graduated from high school. I lived there for 5 years. Went night skiing in Flagstaff as well as growing up skiing at some incredibly beautiful resorts in Colorado!
I loved hiking around the Red Rocks when I was a kid and collected different kinds of precious rocks found in the mountains.
Oh good you saw Glenwood Springs! Brillian how the Hot Springs are so good for our bodies and found in different states.. but none on Kauai. I could use some right about now.
Idaho Springs, Colorado is another great Hot Spring and it's only 1/2 from Denver.

(14,891 posts)Up in mountains and -woah- Night skiing near Flagstaff!
I think skiing is a physically brave sport to do!
I hope you didn't have any serious accidents.
Passed through Phoenix on my way to CAL
Funny I'd fallen asleep sometime after descending the plateau, and passing Sedona. I briefly woke up in the mountains north of Phoenix.
I woke up again still at night on a flat longish main road flanked by very tall skinny palm trees.
I groggly thought are we arriving in Las Vegas?! 😄😄😄
However my bus route went nowhere there!
Eventually we pulled into the Phoenix Bus Station.
I love rock, minerals, and semi precious gem collecting but haven't done it in decades as a go to a site thing and look, around, pick up, or (modestly) dig.
Any memory of something special?
I've picked up bits of info over the years on Hawaii.
Waikiki Beach/Oahu, black sands/Maui, Volcanoes/Big Isle. There's an observatory on one.
I knew the places but had to look where each of these were/are on each island. And the big canyon is on your island. Read about traditional Hawaii, Polynesian culture.
The amazing thing was first time seeing photos of Waimea decades back was until then all the canyons I'd even seen photos of, or experienced in person were the AZ canyons of the high desert!
My sister got to go to Hawaii. Oahu - Waikiki, North Shore She was invited to a wedding!

I knew when she came out an hour ago after that last ballot drop in Mesa which was her last stronghold and said she was going to win that she was finished. She knows it too.
Marius25
(3,213 posts)But there is some disagreement over how many ballots are left in which counties. Wasserman still hasn't given any indication that Boebert will lose.
