I grew up in an exclusive area of New York with two parents in the real estate biz. Having a Waterfront View was a prized possession and a big selling point. One of the things which had me awestruck moving here to Colorado was that EVERYBODY has mountain views here. All you have to do is look up and to the west. So, we all have that view on the front range. I just drove up to Frisco today and saw a half-dozen spontaneous, Spring-melt generated waterfalls pouring over the cliff-sides along the highway. I love this state. :) (And cool comment widget addition, BTW) “One of my best buddies has that same view outside his kitchen window….y’all must be neighbors.”

Some beers sound good, as long as they're not Coors.(not meaning to insult your great state, but IMHO, Coors really is tasteless) Jeff Dr. Slammy,

I drive by that body of water at least once a week on my commute into that very town Sam took a shot of. In fact, you can see some of my employer's buildings if you know exactly what you're looking for in the top photo, nearly off the image to the right, just above the reservoir pictured.

It's really close to where I lived before we moved a couple months back. There's another great spot maybe a mile from here, but no dog park there, and Ronan doesn't really care about the view...
