No ancedotes on this page, just a little info: Colorado is Spanish for " colour red", referring to the muddy waters of the Colorado River. I found that out today (while researching what to write for this page) 19 years after my visit to this state. It`s one of those "why didn`t that occur to me before?" type facts, that becomes obvious in the telling.
