Nah. It's truly gorgeous and special here, but there's a dark secret: it's really hard to make a living here. Me, I brought my job with me. Few have that ability. So come visit, spend lots of money ...and then leave! :-) -rc

I assume you are going to install some heavy-duty lightning rods to protect your new house on top of that mesa. Or are you going to do what about half of my ham buddies here do, sacrifice a couple of antennas a year to the thunder god?

That write-up is nearly 10 years old now. I don't do shortwave-frequency ham stuff, so no big antennas. -rc

"Everybody" around here known about it ...and pretty much no one cares. John is just a local guy, and that's that. Neat! -rc

Very interesting! I was there a few years ago to see the Railroad Museum there, but didn't realize I missed something equally interesting! And you are right, it is REALLY beautiful up there! I hope to visit again this summer!
If you are interested in visiting the museum sometime, information about it is on its .

The Railroad Museum is quite good indeed, with some exhibits you can't find elsewhere. -rc
