Hi Eileen, I just saw your message

I live in Boulder and, as you probably gathered, my mother had OC and now dry mouth but I do not - so no first hand accounts from me.

It is typically very dry in Boulder. The summers are usually quite warm (80s-90s) during the day, although it gets rapidly cooler as you climb into the mountains. I'd guess the humidity hovers around 20% or less, and the mountains are no wetter (possibly even drier). It's how we get the dry powdery snow skiiers ador. To see current relative humidity and compare to your area, try the NOAA site: www.noaa.gov , one of the few weather sites I've found that lists relative humidity.

Sorry not the bring better news, but that's probably what to expect. We've joked about getting my mom a bubble hat like astronauts have so she can breathe humidified air while in Colorado... On the other hand, Boulder and the mountains are beutiful, the sun is almost always shining (protect yourself!), the sky crystal clear (that lack of humidity...) and there are people with dry mouth issues - see posts above - who manage to live in this climate. I hope you can manage to come and enjoy what the area has to offer!
