I left Denver traveling towards Wray for what I considered a "business trip". I left Northeast Colorado feeling like a "genuine local". Everyone is so down to earth, welcoming and friendly. I haven't laughed so hard in years! I know I have made friends for life and found my "home away from home". Oh Northeast Colorado...what a breath of fresh air! Just can't wait for that next "business trip"
Prairie Chickens...here I come!
