Book excerpt: Fort Lupton, Colorado, is a beautiful and friendly little farming community of approximately seven thousand five hundred people situated on US Highway 85, about twenty-nine miles north of Denver. It is situated in an area not quite designated as in the foothills, yet not far enough east to say its a plains town either (just somewhere in between). Summers are Rocky Mountain blue sky gorgeous, with spring temperatures ranging from seventy-five to over one hundred degrees in August and September. Wintertime can deal out twenty-four to thirty-six inches of snow or as little as twelve inches. There seems to be an area bordered on the west by Interstate 25, on the east by US 85, and on the south by Interstate 70, which is more arid year after year in more recent times. Rainfall in summers seems to be minimal, so many farmers irrigate their crops. The Fort Lupton area receives more than three hundred days of sunshine every year. I guess that the abundant sunshine is the main reason that I moved to Colorado in the first place.
