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. This cache seems to have come loose from its hiding location. Found it out in the open. I moved it back to the GZ area and gave it some cover.

Had a great time caching with oz8118 today! We came to this area mainly to get the 2019 Wingin It series, plus a number of multis, and wherigos. We picked up this cache along the way.

Thanks for the fun!

I had a great time caching with nerak2001 today. This cache appears to have blown down from its normal hiding position, so after signing the log we returned the cache to a better place than just lying on the ground, and where we think it goes.
Cheers, keep calm and cache on!

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 .

Grr. I had to skip this one. Who would have thought muggles would be in issue out here in the middle of nowhere. But, there was a guy sitting in his truck at GZ. I thought he would drive away before too long and I waited a bit. But then he got out of the truck and was hanging out in the field not far away.

Lots of erosion at Ground Zero. Be careful.
