Heading out to Utah!

So after attempting a visit to Red Rocks to try to catch a sold out concert of the Allman Brothers Saturday night, I packed up and relaxed Sunday before I continued on my journey Monday morning.  While Nathan returned to Red Rocks Sunday to try again at getting in, his niece Drew and I hung out painting and enjoying the day. After a full girls day the day before it was a lot of fun to lay low. Not to mention I have a lot painted rocks to add to my ever expanding collection.  Colorado was a lot of fun. Of course my big complaint would have to be the lack of trees. I know, I know you are saying, its Colorado there are tons of trees! and trust me I got an earful every time I uttered the words, but a New Englander would understand, its just not the same here. I guess many of the areas like the Springs and Parker were farmlands converted to these developments over the years, but little baby trees and a genuine lack for all things landscaped, have caused me to remain unimpressed. Now Boulder was a different story, but of course as I learned from the man running the local pet store Boulder citizens devout themselves to nature and the outdoors, then again I guess they can afford to! It is the glorious land of rich hippies, but beautiful none the less.  Lets hope those comedians on Colfax st I met the other night were right when they told me, "Trees, fuck, just head west there are a shitload of trees. Girl, you're crazy! No trees in Colorado, that's whack." 
  Need I say more. 
 ...to the West I will go!
