Those future people will have to get their own thread. This is mine and I will have to start charging rent.

Even lil' ol' me? :(

Sheesh... I had to do some good "talkin'" to my apartment complex this evening about charging me 21 days rent after 11/30 (due to some stoopid 45 day notice requirement). Don't make me 'talk' to you too. ]:)

nope, just future people. You made the cutoff.

Hey, a friend suggested looking on CraigsList for place to rent....
Adventurist

Ah, good idea!

The complex you sent me was a little out of my price range. Looked really nice, though!

I'm currently scouting Circle at Sunset and Grandview Meadows in Longmont. I'm just a wee bit overwhelmed right now.

Holy crap! This is like my dream place!

I bet these roads are completely unmanageable with an automatic front wheel drive in the winter. :p

I just looked on CraigsList and saw a couple. Real Estate is a little higher out here compared to PA and Ohio.

Not until your sports teams get better. As we speak, ANOTHER Boston team is stomping a Colorado team. Go Celtics! (double or nothing on the 2nd half, Roamy?)


Back on topic... good luck in Co! I hope Knob Creek is flowing better out there. It was dang near dry in Masten.

I must have missed part of the story, MsD. Did you get a new job, or a job transfer or what?

Longmont is a cool town. You'll enjoy it! It's right outside Rocky Mtn State Park if I remember correctly. That's it! You made the switch from accountant to park ranger, right?

lol... stomper.

Unfortunately, no. What a dream job that would be! I'm still an accountant. New job. It's in Boulder. Longmont is only about 20 minutes away and also damn close to RMNP. :)

Have fun at the mobfest. :)

Thanks, Pennsy! :D If you ever come out to CO, I'll make sure there is a good flow of Knob Creek, or something of the like, for you. ;)

Advent, you deserve to live in the Rockies. You will have so much fun there. My daughter lives near Denver, my Mom and bro in Montrose, so we're are over there once a year.

Good fortunes upon ya, Ms Doo- My longtime friend lives in Crestone Co and has a midwife service there and an awesome straw bail house that serves as a sanctuary.

Idaho Bob, Adventurist has been in CO for about 3 years now. ;) I stole his thread.

Thanks Rocksee lady! Sorry haven't gotten a phone call out to you yet. :( Things have been kinda crazy around here and will continue to be so. I'll drop you a call at some point in the next couple of days. :)

Have a great time! I miss it!!!

Hey Roam! Hows everything there? Doing lots of climbing? I have really been missing it there lately...I want to see some snow, damnit!

I want to make a trip back there next summer - I'm going back to school as well as working full time, so my schedule will be tight, but I am thinking maybe a 3-4 night bpack in July?

Good luck MsDoolittle:) Find a place to rent with a lot of room for tents in the backyard for TT'ers if you can;)

I'm sure we can find somewhere to accomodate a plan like that.... ;)

Going climbing tomorrow in fact - Eldorado Canyon with my son :)

There's a little snow up in the Park and high country, but not much yet. Winters coming fast though!

I just hung up with Ms. Doolittle. She'll be through Indiana before 6:00 P.M. She was really beat having done the entire move by herself.

You Coloraderaoans take good care of her will ya? She should be in sometime tomorrow afternoon.

Best wishes Doo. Keep chasing those dreams!

Poor girl sold damn near everything she couldn't fit into her car (It's not a big car either). The last little bit went to storage.

That's a helluva lot of work to do in a month.

ahh.. I see. We've been there. It is a lot of work. We tried to sell as much as possible but we still had a 21' truck and the car trailer.

I s'pose you can get away with that when you are just moving you, and not a whole family.

That is so freakin cool.

Hell! There's no room in my car for a piece of my hair let alone a rock!

Hi all. :) I'm in Columbia, MO (I was hoping to make it to Kansas City tonight). :) Should be in Longmont on Monday morning/afternoon.

The cat's goofy when she's drugged up. Had to stop because I was exhausted and she had had enough.

Will check in tomorrow night when I stop again. Gotta love internet connections at hotels. I'll need to set that up when I get in town... along with an emissions test. :O I've never had one of those done before.... Should be great fun. ;)

Yes. I got a place only 8 miles from work. I'll e-mail you the name of the complex. I should be 4 hours away from there when I stop tonight in Goodland, KS. I could go farther, but I don't want to stress Holly out too much.

We're not jealous - we have bad altitudes.

bad attitudes?

no, I think he said what he meant, bad altitudes. Any altitude below 4000' surely can be considered a bad altitude and should be regarded as such. :-)

Bad altitudes can be compounded by bad lattitudes.
