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.

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. Lots of mosquitos, but log was in good condition.

What an uber productive day of geocaching with nerak2001 today east of Fort Collins/Loveland. We grabbed over 40 caches, including #1 through #4 of the "Colorado Traditional" series. There were remnants of the "bomb winter cyclone of 2019" in the ditch here, although it's been a couple weeks past and we've had lots of warm weather since then. There was lots of mud on the way to the cache, and I had a good time getting very muddy slipping and sliding in it. I even grabbed the nearby barbed wire fence on my way down and got a little bloody in the process. It's always a bonus to bleed a little for a cache, ha. ;)
Thanks for creating this one and the series.
Cheers, keep calm and cache on!

Had a great time caching with oz8118 today! We thought it was going to be a snowy wet day, but turned out to be quite a muddy day. Our goal was the Wingin'It 2019 series, among other wherigo and multis. I was excited to try out my extendable TOTT for the first time, which was good since we didn't find TOTTs at any of the finals.

This one is in good shape. Thanks for the fun!

While visiting NOCO and our daughter in Severance, I needed to do some caching. I had some in mind, but after attending last Monday's weekly event, I decided that Barasaur caches would be more appropriate. I solved some Colorado puzzles and plotted the Colorado traditional caches, hopped on the bike, and had fun in the Colorado sun. Thanks Barasaur for the events and this fun series. All caches were in good shape (except one moist one and one DNF)

Glad to have another geo art! This one, most of the caches were easy but some weren't there so we replaced them. Don't know how long they have been missing, guess people are just logging finds because we didn't see any DNFs. We were thankful for the ones on the dirt roads or the few that had decent pull offs. Several times we walked a ways from safe parking but some were very scary to even walk to because of the busy roads. We managed to get this series pretty quickly then moved on to the next. Thanks for the art in a great area .

With the extra incentive to earn some souvenirs, I hopped on my bike early this morning to grab as many caches as I could. One of about 20 today. TFTC!
