7:39 There are so many powers determined to destroy this world for a few bucks. Right now a copper mine is being proposed right next to the boundary waters wilderness area in Minnesota 😢. One of my favorite places I've ever been. I go there for a week or two every summer. It sets your heart free. On e they pollute it with that mine you can't bring it back. And the rich guy that owns the mine? What does he care? There is a bad fight coming. The wealthy and powerful need to be reigned in. French Revolution style if necessary 😊

Thank you! I've long enjoyed the National Parks and Forests in California. A couple years back, I took a cross country camping trip with my teenage daughter. We vistited Mono Lake, Death Valley, the Grand Canyon, Sam Houston, Smokey Moutain and Rocky Moutain National parks , plus various state and county parks. Enjoy your retirement. We have a beautiful country. I'm glad I got to enjoy more of it with my daughter. Scorpions, Big Horn sheep, Bears, Alligators, Moose, snakes, frogs, mosquitoes, and big spiders. I love our National Parks.

This song by John was about himself. 15 years ago i left New England on Atlantic coast with my two black lab dogs and went to Rocky Mountains for three months and just explored the beauty. My wife encouraged me to finally take the steps and go. Those two beautiful dogs are gone now but the memories are fresh as if were yesterday. Now i have a Siberian husky and she and i explore the White Mountains of New Hampshire making new discoveries and memories., John Denver accompanied us every step of the way to this very moment.

I'm now living in Colorado for the third time in my life and it is as beautiful as the late great Mr. John Denver portrays it in this song. I would gladly host anyone who would wish to share God's beauty in this amazing place if they would agree to do the same in their home country as I'm sure I was be just as amazed at the beauty of their homeland.

Some of his signature songs were "Take Me Home, Country Roads", "Grandma's Feather Bed", "Fly Away", "Leaving On A Jet Plane", "Poems, Prayers & Promises", "Annie's Song", "Calypso", "Sunshine On My Shoulders" etc. John appeared in several films & television specials during the 70's-80's, including the 1977 hit "Oh, God!", in which he starred alongside George Burns.

At the age of 27 John Denver wrote this song "Rocky Mountain High in (1972)." It's about his rebirth when he came upon the State of Colorado in the US. What he saw was the beautiful Rocky Mountain Ranges, Lakes, Rivers, Streams and Abundant Wildlife and Fauna. He later would make Colorado his home for the rest of his life until his passing in 1997. You cannot go wrong going down the Rabbitt Hole that is the late great Singer/Songwriter John Denver. Great reaction as always. I am an empath just like your wonderful husband.

I don't know if anyone else has mentioned it, but, Denver wasn't John's real last name. He loved Colorado so much he adopted Denver as his last name. He also has the distinction of having 2 songs as state songs in America. 'Take Me Home, Country Roads', is the state song for West Virginia, and the one you just listened too is Colorado's. BTW - I love your heartfelt reactions.

You remind me I should go !!!! You say you have to think the pictures in the video must be enhanced, but I can tell you I have seen with my own eyes scenes like that, and though there may be some enhancements to some of the pictures, I can also tell you there are lots and lots of places that are far more beautiful than any of the pictures in the video....
