Autumn is all around you in Lake City, Colorado (my happy place) but you only have to look up to see what's coming.  They had their first serious snowfall today.

Beautiful picture.  I've never been there, but in my mind that's my happy place as well!

@Kachina624   Stunning.  I looked up the nearby area last night while watching a Pegosa Springs HGTV renovation show Building Roots, loved the scenery.  Lake City looks beautiful too and less than 2 1/2 hours away from Pegosa Springs.

Looked at Pegosa Springs Taos NM Walsenburg and Pueblo last night for a possible trip.

I need some of the towns to have antique stores, Walsenburg and Pueblo have them.

@rockygems123.  You just don't see antique stores in this part of the country like you do in the upper Northeast.  I think there's one on every corner in Massachusetts. 

Where were you from originally?  Believe it or not, I was born in Del Norte, CO.  Mom and dad were teaching school in Monte Vista at the time.

@Kachina624  I didn't know you grew up in CO, no wonder you like Lake City so much!

Born and raised in the SF suburbs on the Peninsula.  Lived either in the suburbs or in the city itself until we moved here 25 years ago. 

Believe it or not the antique shopping (stores & estate sales) here is much better than in the Bay Area, way too competitive there and that was 25 years ago, can't imagine what a rat race it is now.

WE love SW FL, but if we had the resources $$$ would love to have a summer home up on Lake Placid NY.

@rockygems123   The war intervened when I was an infant and we left Colorado.  We lived all over the South and I went to HS and college in Pennsylvania,  then I ended up in Texas for 35 years.  Escaped for NM in 1999 where my parents had retired

The lake in the background is Lake San Cristobal, the 2nd largest natural lake in the state.
