DENVER (AP) -- A political generation ago, the West signaled the nation's rightward swing - from the emergence of Ronald Reagan to the success of tax-limitation ballot measures in California and Colorado.

The influx of hikers, skier, cyclists, etc. has turned some western states away from domination by ranching and mining interests.

In my dreams, I would live near Lake Tahoe, Crested Butte, or the Puget Sound.
