The word 'colorado' means 'colored' or 'colored red' in Spanish. The Colorado state was named after the Colorado River, which Spanish explorers named 'Río Colorado' (meaning 'colored river') for the red silt the river carried from the mountains

Colorado is the only U.S. state that lies entirely above 1000 meters elevation. Its lowest point, 3,317 feet (1,011 m) in elevation is the highest low elevation point of any state, and is higher than the highest elevation points of 18 states. Colorado contains 75% of the land area of the U.S. with an altitude over 10,000 feet

The United States federal government owns more than 1/3 of the land in Colorado.

The 13th step of the state capital building in Denver is exactly 1 mile high above sea level

I am placing some caches around that will be mostly P & G for everyone to enjoy.

Found it at 1459.
I managed to spot this one right away. I did have to stand around for a minute or two until passing traffic disappeared in the distance, lest I look too suspicious when putting the cache container back where I found it.

Dud&Plato had shown me a few of the puzzles in the series that he couldn't figure out. After a bit of looking and thinking I managed to figure out the answers. He had already looked for and logged a bunch of them, but when we went out today he was nice enough to stop at all of the caches so I could sign the logs. It was a pretty nice day out, not too hot and not too cold. If I'd had more time I would have even consider walking the whole way around, but had other things I needed to do today. I had a lot of fun solving the puzzles and looking for the caches. Sad to say we did have one DNF, but we'll try looking again sometime to finish the geoart. TFTC|SL

If there is anything specific to share about any of the caches it will be noted after this point. Cache was in good condition. This was the first stop on our way around.

BugRanger and I came out here a while back, and didn't find this one. We came out again to get the puzzle series, and having heard that this had been replaced, went after it. Easy, easy find this time--we couldn't have missed it before. Now we don't have a green spot in the middle of our smilies! TFTC!

Quick find this time with EstesLynne. We DNF'd this one almost exactly a year ago (8/11/17), and happy to avenge with an easy find this year. TFTC!
