Title: A Dream Come true.
Post by: Elksong@work on July 16, 2007, 10:50:00 AM
Well I finally OWN my own property.  Living in Colorado, where land is priced high than the moon, I was not sure I would ever be able to afford a place.  I have a house in a sub-division, but you are not allowed to shoot in the city. I always dreamed of a day when I would have a place I could just wander out onto and hunt, shoot and explore with the kids.  It is an amazing little place and I can not even express how cool it was to take that first hike with the boy and my wife.

Here I am surveying the place.  (http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b310/Elksong/SH100383.jpg)  (http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b310/Elksong/SH100382.jpg)

We own from this ridge top to the Road in the bottom. Deer and Elk and Sheep sign are on the place.

Even came with a house!;>)

Jason, Where is your property located? I raised 2 boys in the mountains of Colo. They still thank me for this. There is just something about living in the mountain. Congrats on your new dream.

Chortdraw - it is west of Canon city.

We are hoping to build on the place in a couple of years, one dream at at a time......
