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. Two caches, bottom one was completely soaked through even in the baggy. Too wet to even peel apart to sign, so I only signed the top cache log.

Thanks for the puzzles! Thanks for placing this cache for us to find!

This puzzle gave me absolute fits. FITS. I identified what the task was at hand quickly... then like others before me, went to work trying to find the correct connection. Oh man... I gave up on it for a while until I could solve some of the other puzzles, and came back to it... with that information in hand. Assumptions were made... and maybe a bit of leaning on the checker... (Thank you for having that!!) Eventually without finding the proper list, this one was in the solved bag!

Finding the cache:
Some VERY nice dogs decided to great me, but just with wags and no barks. What good pups! Oddly, I did find two containers here.... right on top of one another. The lower one had a slightly damp log, but the higher one was dry. Even a bit damp, I managed to sign both, wave high to the dogs, and be on my way. This was the first puzzle I found in the series and was happy to have at least one off the list. Motivated that I could find and solve the others after this find was running high, so decided to head on down the line to grab some more. No real issues with cache(s) and log(s). TFTC(s) SL(s)

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)

With a little nudge from a friend we were able to find this cache and get it off our DNF list!

thanks. coords good.

This was a pretty quick puzzle to solve, although I had a couple of sources that didn't necessarily agree with each other. Got the checker to agree, though, and grabbed the final today on a caching binge with BugRanger. TFTC!

Solved these before we came up so we knew where we were going. 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 and pointing us in the right direction on some!
