Colorado in your timelines

wilcoxchar

Since I imagine we'll have a slew of these types of threads for a little while, what do you do with the area around Colorado in your timelines? Although I haven't read many timelines on this board in detail, I'd suspect it's often ignored aside from a "there's gold in them thar hills!" event in the 19th century. I'm curious as it seems to me like the area can be easily overlooked when dealing with the US.

Well, in my CoHE TL Colorado is down where Arizona is in OTL. The area you're refering to I call Rococima, meaning mountainpeak in Spanish. :D

OTL Colorado is divided between the United States of America and Mexico. The U.S. state that exists in the area is called Jefferson.

Well most of my TL's are either far enough back that America does'nt exist or are after it was established, so I don't really do alot with it.

One of my current projects Colorado does have some different borders.

Pfft, no. Nothing ever happens in our state.

Except maybe the USGS. We'll probably always have the USGS.

Hehe. Well hopefully we can retain more than the USGS. And plenty of stuff happened in our state, ummm... we killed some natives, I know that.

Hehe, at least that's a better reason for Colorado to be newsworthy than a boy who may or may not be stuck in a balloon.

So you've basically turned Colorado into uber-Boulder? Hooray! :D

Pro-Silver-A version of Progressiveness, and small hold miners/farmers and anti-big business. Does that fit?

Definitely Anti-big business, and while miners and farmers are probably right for the time, nowadays we're full of hippies and college intellectuals. Not sure what Boulder would think about free silver, but if you also have the state be big on environmentalism and the conservation movement, then that pretty much fits the basic politics of Boulder. :p

Usually have them win the Stanley Cup a couple of times more than OTL.
