Khotsocooldude,

The Boulder referred to in "10 Degrees and Getting Colder" is actually in Nevada, not Colorado. Boulder Dam was the original name for Hoover Dam, located on the Colorado River at the Nevada-Arizona border. The nearest town to the dam is Boulder City, Nevada. It's my understanding the locals were not pleased when the dam was renamed in honor of President Herbert Hoover and many residents still refer to the dam as "Boulder Dam". And don't be self-critical of your knowledge of American geography - I'm quite certain it exceeds my knowledge of your country!
