My cousin Ron, who grew up in Denver, Colorado, has always bragged that Colorado has the most beautiful countryside in the entire country. I thought that was a pretty big claim and thought about all of the diverse geography across the nation and started to consider possibilities to argue against him. It’s not that I didn’t think Colorado was beautiful, in fact I had never been there before. It’s just that Ron, who always thought he was right made such an extreme statement about the state that I couldn’t help but to want to immediately object. And as my luck would have it, last Fall I got my chance.
Ron invited me to come out and visit for a week in late October. He said that there was usually a lot of Halloween activities going on and maybe we could take some kind of a haunted pumpkin ride or something. Apparently he had forgotten about his earlier statement because he didn’t mention a word about how beautiful his state was. Maybe he hoped I’d forgotten he said it now that I was going to be there to see it first hand. But aside from my desire to put Ron in his place, the trip sounded like fun and despite everything we were pretty close and so I accepted.
Okay, you must know what’s coming. I had a whole slew of places to bring up in comparison to his precious Colorado countryside but even flying over the state into the Denver Airport I was beginning to suspect the truth. I had a great time with Ron and we spent some time outside of the city. We had a great stay in a cabin type hotel and watched the changing colors of the leaves and foliage. The mountains were incredible and I could imagine them in anytime of the year. There was also a lake nearby. We didn’t do anything on it but look out over it. And while I could never say one place was the most beautiful in the nation, I never brought my argument against Ron’s earlier statement.
