Fort Collins - Rifle



Our first stop was Fort Collins, Co. We attended a job fair at Colorado State and fell in love with this eclectic little town. Unfortunately, it's even harder to get a job here than it is in Michigan! We got a couple decent leads on some districts outside of Denver, so we'll see what happens.

After Fort Collins, we took Highway 70 west through the mountains, about 3 1/2 hours west of Denver to a place called Rifle, where we had interviews set up with the high school and middle school. We were very lucky to get through Vail pass before they shut the highway down due to that massive winter storm.

On our way to Rifle, we had begun to talk about whether or not we could handle such a small town. Our concerns were heightened as we got closer to Rifle and passed a town called "No Name." This was not comforting in the least. Once we arrived, however, we were greeted by really friendly people, and a beautiful setting to enjoy over the course of our short stay. The two photos above were taken in Rifle.
