Colorado stands to lose an estimated $85 million if Congress and President Barack Obama don’t reach a deal by Friday.

The Mile High Gliding facility at the Boulder Airport in Colorado is one of Carol Fiore's favorite haunts. And it's a perfect day for flying: clear, breezy and with a gorgeous view of the Rocky Mountains.

Fiore used to fly gliders regularly, but a few years ago she stopped. Flying them had become painful.

"I felt, in a way, that I was searching for something that wasn't there," Fiore says. "I was looking for that laughter and that incredible time that I had flying with Eric, and he wasn't in the plane with me. I was by myself."

The Fort Collins-Loveland area was the leading producer of Peace Corps volunteers per capita, in 2012, with 14.7 per 100,000 residents.
