Tell us all about it, and we move to the next state/town, not necessarily in the US.

Have fun!

The home of a booming pottery industry that declined around 1880 only to be brought back to life. Exports are up after a brief 140 year hiatus.

Boulder, Colorado. Home of the Flatirons which are rock formations made of granite laced with iron which makes them red. They jut out on a series of 3 mountains, Greene Mountain, Bear Mountain and South Boulder Peak. They are interlaced with many hiking trails all over around it. Many marathon and ironman racers train on these trails.

There are a couple of atomic clocks here located at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. You will also see the National Center for Atmospheric Research on a mesa in front of the Flatirons designed by famous Chinese-American architect I.M. Pei who also designed the glass pyramids and underground of the Louvre Museum in Paris, France.

I presume that you like the Hawks, what about animals and other birds?

I used to be a birder once upon a time. I've taken Ornithology courses many moons ago. Had a life list and all that good stuff. I love fauna and flora. I mention Cape May because it's the only place I know where you are guaranteed a show.

Eh? Hawk migration is about as natural as it gets. They fly the same path every year. That is why there is show.
