    Kazoo, you are looking for Nucla or Naturita if you stay in Colorado. You can always look at Monticello if you decide to move to Utah.

    I've driven through all three, but couldn't tell you anything about them except they are small and they aren't the types of places people wander through unless they have a lot of time on their hands.

    Kazoo, I'm a transplant out here for about two years now. However my girlfriend is an assistant principal at Grand Junction High School and grew up out here in Delta. She used to teach at Fruita High School so she is pretty well versed in the area if you have an questions that we could help you with.

    The only problem is our cook, she's picky. EVERYTHING must meet her standards.

    aaagh! Nucla or Naturita? Cstone is right, in that they aren't exactly a "destination" area. I've lived there, would not recommend. Unless you're looking for a very toothless, inbred, unemployed and meth-ridden area. If that's the case, eureka, you're home. Otherwise, there are better options.

    Cedaredge and Surface Creek valley are cooler in summer, warmer in winter, and get more snow than GJ, Delta and Fruita. IMO great area to live and have good access to the more populated areas and recreational activities.

    Grand Mesa gets pretty crowded in summer(at least around more popular lakes) but not bad in winter. Great snowmobiling.

    Well son of a gun!

    Thinking about bringing some hardware along with us. How busy do the BLM ranges typically get on the weekends?
