Greetings from the PNW

[netsecsys]

Does PNW stand for Pacific North West? Have you been out here before?

Yes, I live about 20mins from the Canadian border in NW Washington.

I have been to CO quite a few times and have some property (tundra ; ) near Alamosa. I am interested in relocating to the Western Slopes of the Rockies (From Rifle down to Durango). It'll be a while though as I need to sell my home here and find a job there (also trying to finish school in the next year)...

Thanks.

Right on, I'm originally from Glenwood. I love it over there but it's too small time for me right now. That's why I'm in the Denver metro area.

Glenwood, WA? My kind of place...

I'm looking for "small time" in my life. 10acres, good water supply and regular sun would fit the bill just fine

Thanks.

Glenwood Springs, CO is a little town on the western slope in colorado. Cool little town over where you're looking at.

My father has recently lived in Anacortes, Whidbey Island, and is now down by Oysterville...

Check on water rights when you settle into Colorado- many lots smaller than 35 acres will have a highly restrictive well permit- called a "household permit" that will not allow watering a lawn or livestock

over 35 acres generally gets a "domestic well permit", with much less restrictions (I live on just under 47 acres)

There are some grandfathered exceptions, but water rights can be an issue in rural Colorado...

Welcome to the site. Take your shoes off and make yourself comfortable.

Not sure how many jobs are available for a network security admin along the Western Slope (WS) - Denver and Colo Spr have a lot of these positions (although I don't think too many are available these days). Perhaps Grand Junction would have more than other WS areas.

Glenwood Springs, CO is a little town on the western slope in colorado.

Glenwood Springs is considered "Western Slope"? I did not know that. I love the town too.

Thanks. Not too sure I will end up with a pre-64 .308w (I have not gotten a lot of calls on my right Kidney that I posted on Craigslist )

Been looking at Mauser Model 98s and Early 70's Winchester Model 70s as well (there are a few more of these floating around).

Thanks again.
