    That is where I have our realtor capped off at. Trust me, there are .5 acre lots in Colorado Springs for way more, which I find just crazy to pay that much.

    Hell, if it were me, and I had choices on places to go, Idaho bound would be I.

    If living close to a big city isn't important, Matt and I have both found little oasis in acreage lots for very reasonable.

    I just had a guy tell me recently that you have to have 30+ acres I'm Colorado to hunt legally on your own land. Not sure if that's true, but it would be something to check into before pulling the trigger. That could vary by county.

    Holy shit! The land alone is worth that? And I thought ground out here was expensive.

    Oddly enough, I facing the same decision myself... Company finally made the offer... They'll pay the Geo difference in salary and relocation for me to move whenever I'm ready... (mrs tomsinamerica is 7 months pregnant) no rush to make the decision but we're tempted to roll the dice despite loving NC

    I did it, and highly recommend it. Now after the fantastic call I got today, I will be going to southern CA again soon. That blows ass.

    Thanks. It's all good. We all knew it was coming.

    Funeral last Thursday, then this last Sunday, and this call today. Things really do come in three.

    Been in CO for 35 years, great place! But I think you are in for some sticker shock anywhere close to the Metro area.
