Abuse Tax
I recently learned of Use Tax. The use tax I learned about is a little different than that defined above in that it is a small town enforcing a tax on goods purchased elsewhere, even though a sales tax is applied in the other location. I am flabbergasted that this is legal. Has there ever been any legal challenges to this? [more inside]

Woodsy, beautiful getaway within driving distance of Denver Airport?
My sister and I live on opposite ends of the country and want to meet halfway for a sisters weekend. We have very fond memories of Colorado from a long ago family vacation, and have booked our flights to Denver ... only to realize neither of us knows squat about the area. Also, due to schedule wackiness, we're going over the 4th of July weekend. Whoof! [more inside]

Colorado Rockies in May
We're considering visiting Colorado in late May, flying into Denver. We'd like to experience the Rockies, in a relatively chill way (driving, short hikes, no back country stuff). I'm looking for generic advice about conditions at that time of year (will late spring conditions affect our ability to do certain things/go certain places?), and for specific recommendations of things to do and places to stay. We're willing to drive a few hours from Denver, probably not more than four unless there's something really worth experiencing that's farther. Thanks!
Is there any decent Mexican food in Denver area?
So far I've tried three random places that ranged from "actively terrible," to "oddly bland." It doesn't have to duplicate Tex-Mex I'm used to (I like California Mex and am open to varied ingredients) but it should have flavor beyond "we threw some hot-ass peppers on top of otherwise flavorless ingredients."

RMNP via Grand Lake, need non-hike options and how do our passes work?
We are staying in Grand Lake in August and have obtained requisite passes for RMNP. Our group of 6 adults and two teens has 1 non hiker, a dog, and so many questions. We do know the no-dog policy for RMNP, and have passes.
RMNP is huge, is there One Entrance in Grand Lake and One Entrance in Estes Park? We plan to experience both areas, and are staying near Columbine Lake. Way more below the fold, including ideas for short side trips, a birthday dinner ideas (The View?). Please help! [more inside]
Road trip to Colorado - Safe to take Winter tires off at this point?
Travelling to Copper Mountain, CO this weekend from Utah. I have to take my car in for an oil change tomorrow anyway, and wasn't sure if moving back to all seasons at this point would be ok. It'd be more cost efficient to get done now and would rather not but 13 hours travel on my winter tires if I can avoid it - but if I-70 is still dicey at times I'll keep them on and not be a burden to my fellow drivers.

How to prepare myself physically for a road trip vacation to Colorado
The last time I went to Colorado for a vacation, I had horrible headaches from the altitude. This summer we're going again and I’d like to avoid those if there’s a way to do that. I would also like to have more athletic stamina for hiking at a high elevation.
So I have a two-part question: what can I do now to prepare myself so that I minimize headaches from the altitude and that I’ll be ready to hike? We live at 500’, and we are staying in an area of Colorado around 9000’. [more inside]

Possibly leaving for Denver after half a century in my hometown.
So back in 2015, I posted that we might have to leave Jacksonville in the next five years due to Mrs. Mosley's career. Four years later, it looks like time might be up. Back then it looked like it might be Dallas, but a new and exciting career opportunity has presented itself to her in somewhere we weren't looking: Denver. [more inside]

Can this condo be eligible for FHA?
I love a condo in Denver. My Realtor and mortgage broker both say it's not approved, so no way I can make an offer. The building has not received approval, because "the market is strong" and they won't deal with the process. At this price, the only mortgage I'll qualify for is FHA. Is this correct? Other people have said I can apply on my own, not disclosing my type of mortgage in the offer. So confused! Any advice is much appreciated.
Earliest date to travel through Rockies snow-free
We'd like to drive from Toronto to LA and back as early as reasonably possible next year. To LA through Canada and back to Toronto via Arizona (Grand Canyon), Utah, Colorado, Nebraska, etc. But we don't want to die on a lonely Colorado mountain in a snow storm.
What's the earliest time of year we could reasonably expect to be snow-free on each of these routes? [more inside]

How do I find a job and move from 1000 miles away?
I need to move from the midwest to the west. The precise location isn't really important for this question. The timeframe doesn't have any hard constraints, but I want to do this within a year.

Rocky Mountains for the Acrophobic
My family will be traveling to Fort Collins, Colorado in about a month for a wedding. We will be flying into Denver and then driving up. The kids (ages 6 and 11) have never been in the Rockies before and we'd like to enjoy nature and the mountains. The difficulty is that Mrs. WtP has a history of severe acrophobia leading to panic attacks when driving on mountain roads. The acrophobia may be rooted in damage to her vestibular system. (She had severe ear infections as a child, required surgery, and has partial hearing loss in one ear.) [more inside]
Where to stay in the Denver/Boulder area?
