    Plan right now is get a RV trailer and travel around for 3 months looking at places to live. Thinking Wyoming and Montana still but don't want to pick a place that will become like Colorado in 3-4 years.

    Good luck with finding a place that will not have that happen. You should check out Idaho too, Used to make some biz trips to twin falls and seemed very ideal to me.

    Yeah, that's why we want to spend 3 months exploring places. Montana and Wyoming are just the first places we want to look at. Who knows we could end up in Alaska.

    The mess I have to deal with.
    [​IMG]

    Couple years ago this could have been repaired fairly cheap.
    Don't let your commercial doors go this long without maintenance.
    Hinges are the first to go, then the door closes like shit and next thing everybody is kicking the shit out of it to close and open it. This hasn't been locked in several years.
    These are ball bearing hinges, there are two bearings but only one has a load on it depending on hand of door. The one with the load is the squished piece at the lower end.
    And then it ground down from there. I'm not even showing the worst of the total damage.

    Part of the haunted tour to get to the door.

    This pic was blurry every time I took it...:eek: Some kind of small access tunnel. Spooky yo!

    Cool pics thanks for sharing. We get up to Estes park as often as we can, and love swinging by the SH. Ive still got a token in my nightstand from parking.

    I'd like to find a steel or aluminum bumper for my '07 DCSB if anybody has one they'd like to move along. ARB/Iron Bull... most would work for me...

    This is the most confusing for me too. Stuff breaks on the trail, poor decision to either heed bad advice or ignore good advice... it happens, fine. But once the recovery was set in motion and the axle was clearly separated, why no one was able to put the kibosh on the recovery attempt it is mind boggling. In fact there were one or two saying "you're good to go" even after the axle was resting under the rear door.

    This is the part that really bothers me about that whole situation. It doesn't matter if the crowd was annoyed because the driver was ignoring their advice - it was clear when the axle broke loose that the recovery plan sucked and needed to be re-evaluated. That should be all the "I told you so" needed to stroke whatever egos were insulted and would have prevented all of that additional damage.

    That's one of the places we we're looking to go. It's definitely nice up there among a couple other idaho towns.
