Colorado, here we come!

Yay! Welcome to Colorado! Golden is about 20 minutes south of Boulder. Your newest place sounds awesome! Now...do your cats live outside a lot? Cause we have a LOT of critters here that like to eat cats. Especially where you're going to be. Coyotes, foxes, owls, and mountain lions all like fresh kitty.
But it will be so nice having another TCSer here in Colorado! Welcome again!
What a gorgeous view! I hope you love it there and it is the change you are looking for! Good luck on the drive!
Wow, Sue! That's going to be a big change from PA. Good luck with the move, the new house, and the new job!
Mom of 10 Cats said:We'll be living in the mountains 20 minutes outside of Boulder. We will be living on 18 acres right on the Continental Divide! It's about a 45 minute commute to Denver. There are 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, gas heat, a woodburning fireplace and a washer/dryer; the house is about 1600 square feet.
Congratulations! Boy, this brings back memories. I lived for a time in Goldhill, which is up Sunshine Canyon, outside Boulder, and was along the Continental Divide. I'll never forget going to sleep one night when it was raining and waking up to mega inches of snow (gulp).
That snow plow contract is going to be a very good thing

Well, the move is upon us! We are packing up the moving truck and my sister is here with her husband to take our fridge and some furniture. We will be leaving late in the afternoon/early evening on Wednesday 10/12 and will be driving 15 hours to just outside of St Louis (Hazelwood) MO. We'll overnight there and make the rest of the trip the next day, arriving in Boulder sometime on Friday 10/14. The truck will either be there on Friday or the following Monday. There is a stack of 20 cat carriers here in the computer room and the cats have definitely sensed something odd is afoot.
Good luck with the move Sue! I'm really looking forward to being able to meet you on a relaxed schedule once you get settled!
Yeah, Craigslist is quite awesome...you can find anything you're looking for!
Anyway, congratulations on the new place and finding that awesome landlord! You must be thrilled!
And I thought my 6 cat limit was generous of the landlord! Wow!
Much happiness to you and the 'herd o' cats' in the future
Good Luck on the drive! I hope it all goes smoothly!
Wishing you the best hun!!!
Big hugs to you and Ty!

We've been here a week and a half now and are starting to settle in. I still can't believe we made it here intact! Our new abode is a big log cabin, and the cats are literally climbing the walls with joy!
On a sad note, Luthien has been diagnosed with Feline Leukemia. I've started a thread in the health section about that.
I will be updating our webpage as soon as we get broadband, in about 3 weeks, and will be adding the story of our journey onto it for any who are interested.
We're in the Sugarloaf community, 8000 ft up Sugarloaf Mountain about 20 minutes from downtown Boulder. It is paradise. Thank you to everyone who followed us on this odyssey!!!

So glad you made it safely. We're having great fall weather to welcome you. (And it will even be dry for Halloween - doesn't happen alot as any trick-or-treater can tell you).
I look forward to hearing about the journey with lots of cats. I barely handle taking my three to the vet at the same time.
Welcome.

So glad you made it. I was thinking about you just a couple days ago! It's beautiful here, huh?
I am so glad you made it safely! I can not wait to see more pictures of that gorgeous view!
I'm so glad to hear you made it safely, Sue!

I just found your moving thread. Wow....I can hardly wait for more pictures and stories about your adventure.
The view from your new place is awesome.
Here is a big hug for sweet Luthien.

We had snow today, about 1/2", just enough to make everything look like a Christmas card.
Yesterday, we went down into town and walked around the Pearl Street Mall, a very cool pedestrians-only shopping district with street performers and cool statues for kids to climb on. On our way down, 5 mule deer crossed the road, Tybalt got out and was able to get about 3 feet from a big buck and took some awesome pictures. They were totally relaxed with us being there. I'm so glad hunting is not allowed on our mountain!

Sounds like such fun, Sue! I hope you had plenty of coca cola on that journey!
