Unless one has specific knowledge of it, Colorado is a very large place.  We just left WY & CO after 12 days of sightseeing and checking up on our building lot.  There are hundreds of fake plywood adobe look-alikes springing up all over, many having the look of strawbale with cob plaster (except for the walls being thinner).  We saw many, many cob and strawbale patio/garden walls though (keeping out deer & antelope too).  Some of the places "looked" like cob compounds, but you had to look close to see what was underneath for sure.  http://www.crestone.org

Good Luck on your Quest,

Dave
