I'm Thinking of moving to Lamar

it appears to have decent medical.

ah! no! This is far from it. If your at an older age when health care matters. This is not the place to be.

Why do you say that? Do you have some experience there?

I go out to Lamar once a year for pheasant hunting and the town has shrunk a little since the bus plant closed a few years back. If you want to move there you better like wind and a flat landscape.

There is no large medical facility. The nearest large hospital is two hours away but there are a number of retirement centers in the area. Best BBQ I ever had was two miles north of Lamar.

I personally wouldn't want to live there but it may fit you well. Two years back I was hunting in Stonington which is an hour and a half south east of Lamar. The town of Stonington consists of three houses, a church and one corral. A guy in one of the three houses had just moved from Parker to get away. I would go stir crazy in such a place but he loved it.

Personally, I say go for it! If I didn't need to be at least sort of close to a city for work, I would have looked for a very remote property. You almost couldn't pay me enough to ever live in a city again. I don't know how guys in the Denver metro or Colo Spgs areas can stand it....
