That is SO interesting. While doing some internet research on "my perfect place" a couple of years ago, I fell in love with -- from very much afar -- Salida. On paper, it seemed to have everything. So when you wrote your first post about a town like that existing in Colorado, I thought "Hmmm...wonder if it could be Salida??" Everyone chimed in with their guesses...but who was right? Moi, the Carolina gal who has just barely been to Colorado (only to Cortez on the Grand Circle we did last spring).

Since my original research, DH and I have both decided that we require a warmer climate that Salida, but it sure did -- and does -- sound wonderful other than that, and I definitely plan a visit there one day. In the summer!
