You guys do realize that I'm going to be 69 in a month, so quality healthcare that is both competent and close by is getting more important every year.

I like Durango, but it would take longer for me to drive from Durango to Breck/Copper than it currently takes me to fly from Omaha to Denver, ride a van from Denver to Breck, and get the Tribeca off the battery tender and out of the garage. For some reason, it would be cheaper for me to buy tickets for Durango to Vail with a stop over in Denver than it would to buy tickets from Durango to Denver. If I did that, I guess that I could just not use the Denver-Vail and Vail-Denver portion of the ticket. The La Plata County Sheriff seems to be FFL friendly, no problem transferring my FFL to an address in La Plata County, so that's a good thing.

You could only pump water if you own irrigation rights, people are pretty serious about water here in the intermountain west. Whiskey is for drinking, water is for fighting over.

I already talked to someone in the Division 7 water resources office in Durango. No problem pumping from the Animas without getting water rights and the fellow who I spoke with told me that getting water rights would be both easy and close to, if not, automatic. I try to incorporated the 7 Ps of planning when I'm doing new to me stuff.
