Moving to the Rockies

[Roy]

Hi Gents,

For those of you who know me and/or are interested, I thought I would share some news. My wife and I are leaving New Mexico and will be care-taking an incredible lake-side property in the Vega State park high up (8,000 feet) in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado.

Heading there in about two weeks. I'm reasonably confidence the internet signal will be fine.

We are so far out of town there is no mail. so will have to head into town once a week. No doubt I will have to develop just a little more patience for my incoming buttons.

A couple of pics to share.

Cheerio,

Roy

Looks wonderful, I am sure you will struggle through. A great place for contemplation.

My wife and I have discussed fire lookout stations out west. 5 months out of the year you are up in lookout. Groceries etc are brought too you.

It appeals to us for the peace and quiet. After long careers in sales it is just what we need.

Hope the top floor windows open so you can get out after the first snowfall.
Enjoy your new adventure Roy.

All the best with the venture.

Thanks Guys,

Yes Dennis you certainly will.

We have lived up in the Rockies before, so it's not a total unknown. Although this location is a little higher up and more remote, so we are mentally preparing for an 'adventure'.

Luckily I have a large garage for my Triumph but I'm not expected to get as much riding in as I was hoping. But who knows a nice sunny day and I could take a turn around the lake..

I might even give 'ice' fishing a go, no what's something I haven't tried before.

Cheerio,

Roy

Good luck, Roy
Looks like a lovely place, I must say, if a bit remote.
Have fun!

Roy, that house looks fantastic and I'd love to live in the Rockies. I hope you're happy in your new home and area. Just remember, every morning when you look out of your window how lucky you are. despite mail problems...

[Roy]

Hi Gents,

Many thanks indeed. We have use of the big cabin but also have a smaller place next door. It is an incredible location. I may even try my hand at 'ice' fishing!

We are hitting it right at the start of the winter, so it will be a shock. Should be some interesting wildlife too, bears, mountain lions etc. My wife is already calling dibs on my .357 revolver..

Should have some cracking photos to share once settled.

Cheerio,

Roy
