That's funny about the jelly and jam! I just commented on that issue in another reply. But you're right about the distance to the mountains from Parker. At least the views of the front range from Parker are panoramic on clear days. I wasn't about to pay the lot premium for a view from my house...

I hear you guys about the leftist leaning direction Colorado is headed in. It's all about tradeoffs. My 58 year old perspective is I'll either be too old to care or dead by the time Colorado catches up to California in that regard. It's accelerating everywhere but California is so much farther...

It's been a couple months since my last post so I thought I'd give an update on what happened. I've taken two weeklong trips to CO to see where I want to live and I'm going to land in Parker. I bought a new house up in the hills on the east edge of town. It's a bit of a trek to the freeways but...

Thanks guys for your input. I got some valuable perspective that helps point me in the right direction I think. I figured out a way to get out there next month to do some surveying of places to live. I'll start with a visit to friends in Aurora and on the way back visit friends just east of...

Ok, it's really getting through my thick head to stay far away from I-70. I don't think I want to live at 7K or 8K feet so Montrose and Grand Junction are still options on the west but just to complete the picture on the east is Fort Collins or Colorado Springs areas far enough away and is...

You're right on the California part but I'm not one of them Leftists and that's the main reason I want to escape. I'm tired of closed wilderness for things like disrupting the sex lives of frogs. Also want to get my guns out of here before they get taken away. Seriously, the NRA just saved us...

That's some good advice and there's a lot to be said about that way of thinking. I originally was thinking of Montrose or Grand Junction but in the end I prefer better access to more populated areas. I haven't completely eliminated that idea though as it's been 20 years since I've been in that...

Ha ha if you only knew where I was moving from!

Retired for the most part and do the rest on the internet. The other constraint is I'd like to keep the home price with a 3 or 4 handle and something on the newer end but it looks like that doesn't exclude too many areas. I'll get out there in the fall and really start looking for areas I like...

I'm seriously considering moving to Colorado next summer and trying to narrow down where I think I want to live. Proximity to off road venues where I don't have to drive too far is one of the more important considerations and I'm hoping to get some opinions on that. I'm thinking somewhere...

I just graduated to 35" MT/Rs from 33" Swamper SSRs and looking for tips on what people have done to stuff them into the wheel wells as much as possible. I've done all the usual stuff and then some to get the 33s to stuff in really well. With the 35s I see my first constraint is the inside rear...
