Retiring at 39 to Colorado.
« on: June 12, 2010, 12:46:00 AM »
By retiring I mean I'll be doing something I enjoy for money and living a life of leisure. Living in the Pike National Forest will just fuel my appreciation for traditional bows and I get to tramp around in the woods too. I already have friends there. It's time to live the GOOD life.

Go and visit a buddy and come home with a job and place to live in Gods country. Does it get better? Friends are a good thing.   :)

Leisure isn't all it is cracked up to be. But a good rest here and there is good for the soul. Hope you enjoy it and keep us all updated.

You won't regret it.

I did the same thing when I was in my early twenties. Got sick of Nebraska and whitetails. Pretty much threw a dart at a Wyoming map. Landed on Sheridan. Quit my job, took everything that would fit in my truck and trailer, left the rest. Found a place a live, and found a job within a week. I have been in southern Wyo now for the last ten years working as a fed coyote hunter. I am fortunate.

I wish you the best.

Don't know if you fish, but that's some of the best fishing in the state. Welcome to Colorado!

I'm doing the same thing in a couple of months. We are moving to Fredericksburg, Texas. We'll be helping out on the Critter Lake Wildlife Ranch.

Got to love how life turns out at times...

Enjoy and my the Good Lord Blees you always...

I envy you but shouldn't. I'm still in Nebraska to stay. As we get older our dreams are still real, but we tend to compromise.
