I spent several years of my childhood in northern Virginia, where "gravel" roads in Iowa were "dirt" roads there. I also frequently heard, "Ya'll come back now, ya hear?"

In Iowa, the only things I can think of are: "Don't like the weather? Wait 5 minutes," which refers to the unpredictable weather, and I sometimes see bumper stickers that say "Is this Heaven? No, it's Iowa," referring to the movie Field of Dreams with Kevin Costner.

I don't know about Colorado yet!
