For us, for now, it is the perfect solution, with so many amenities. Knowing that if our plans change tomorrow we get back our initial outlay of cash is a definite plus. Not much to lose on this deal. Looking forward to having you two as neighbors.

It has (almost) everything you need...pickleball courts, lap pool, weight room, friendly neighbors, and, most importantly, breweries with generous happy hours a few miles down the road in Temec. I'd be there too if hiking opportunities were closer (oh wait, they wouldn't allow old Goldie, would they?) I think it's a good fit for you guys, even if it's transitional.

We are heading back to Boulder City, NV in March to look at houses/property. We are very excited to find a town we both feel very comfortable in with six different huge areas for hiking all within no more than an hour. Also, tons of mountain biking trail right in Boulder City and a paved 34 mile loop. And every store we need is just up the road in Henderson and Vegas has a wonderful airport. But Boulder City is out of the crowded area. We are looking forward to getting another motorcycle and do some trips on the bike again. We will keep our MH and still travel frequently, especially back east. We want to keep the MH on our property. <br /><br />The Canadian Rockies are spectacular!! We loved Jasper. A small quaint town and the NP campground is awesome. Pie shaped sites looped with amazing spacing. We arrived Sept 7 for ten days. So much mind blowing hiking, not to mention the elk love the park so rutting season is great. Banff is a very busy, crowded town with upscale stores. The NP campground isn't as nice with all sites pull ins along the road. Great hiking, though. Our trip took us to Glacier (we stayed on the east side), Waterton (Canadian Glacier), Calgary, Edmonton, Jasper, Banff, and then back to Glacier (east) for two more hikes. Check out our blog posts and let us know if you have any questions. I have several books and info that you can borrow. We'll be in Tucson for a month starting Feb 1.John and Pam (ohtheplacestheygo.wordpress.com)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10853924678665624403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9062337474734435253.post-23213127750015875652018-01-20T21:29:06.616-08:002018-01-20T21:29:06.616-08:00Wow, that's big news!
