Thanks, Richard!
Inspired by your brainstorming on topics,

what's going on in Colorado? What might we share? Who might want to share?
We sure have some photogenic places to call in from!
Slides of past wiknics?
COVID in Colorado?
Brainstorming about COVID-related impacts on society and the future of gatherings, wikipedia, collaboration?
Something about frontiers?
Shall we host a breakout session? And/or join together with the inter-mountain west or the like?
Huh - I don't see any other user groups in neighboring or close-by states....
Is there a map of areas represented by wikimedia user groups?
Or metadata for locations of user groups?
In wikidata?
Ok, I'm off on tangents already.... [Wheee! What fun! ;) ]
