I remember seeing that popular "Colorado 1900 - 2000" coffeetable book, or whatever it's actual title was, years ago. Just photos of landscapes with direct side by side comparisons between 1900 and 2000.
The thing that struck me about it was how barren everywhere in Colorado looked 100 years ago. I don't know if there was just a bunch of trees cut down or burned in forest fires in the 19th century or earlier that grew back in the 20th century? Or maybe they were just barren in 1900 and trees grew in over the next 100 years anyway.
Or maybe my memory is fuzzy about the photos in that book and in reality Colorado wasn't as barren back then as I'm led to believe.
Don't know about Morrison though.

Sarcasm or not, it's not even funny to post something like this. Not at this time. Reported.
