    All we saw this week was Traffic, lot's of traffic. Are there some possible areas to explore, yes. However. At this time we can't see moving from the front range to western slope when the same crap exist. Maybe to the west of GJ, or even Utah.

    Where did you experience this large amount of traffic in Grand Junction last weekend?
    I moved here from Greenwood Village two years ago and have absalutly zero complaints about Grand Junction traffic.

    FWIW: I remember GWV as a small place , the DTC was miniscule compared to last stop down there, before Christmas (never again). Now it's like any other major growth area.

    This was wed. mid afternoon, evening and again this morning.
    Road 24 where the Mesa mall / stores seemed to be reproducing every time we drove by there. It was like Harmony rd and College ave in one big cluster fuk. I couldn't imaging being in that area around the holidays. It's bordered by business 70, Colorado Mesa University is in that area.
    IMO GJ is like Ft Collins, which we want to avoid.

    We want Small Town, Rural living. When we moved to our current location there was less than 6K population, 2 stop lights. Now it's passed the 20K and 10+ lights to get out of town. WAY to many people.

    The up side is , as mentioned. 20 - 30 minutes and you are away from that scene.



    We found a real nice place in Montrose (by the ad) till we got there. 5 ac scenic overlook, bank owned. The 5ac was 4 - 5' wide of shoulder off the road, the scenic overlook was fantastic. Till you lowered your view 2". Then we were subjected to the feed lot. .
    Come spring we'll examine the area more, especially the areas outside city limits. This visit was time limited.
