Not around Flagstaff,lol....

Nor Battle Mtn, more like nowhere near anything.
I just want a spot where I'm so far away from Govt I don't have to look over my shoulder.
It would be just a retreat, not a place to live, maybe prospect a bit, hunt for fossils.
I've just gotten so sick of Ca and the Fed curtailing your every move, from designating an area as protected and locking it off, to....Hell, you name it, they are like a cancer on this great Nation.

Elfie is a river. She is the unstoppable force to the worlds immovable objects. She has her rapid parts, and her quiet parts, but she never, ever stagnates. She has eddies in her current where her body pauses but her mind keeps going, and where she has falls she recovers herself and keeps moving towards whatever bends and switchbacks are unseen before her. She nourishes those around her, and flows through dams when she has to, and smashes through them when she must. She is an inspiration to many people, and a few fear her. There are few lazy parts of her as a river; where there are, those still waters do run deep.


If you are with her, she is always going to support you and long as your journey is you will want nothing.

If you you are against her, bring a life jacket. And a helmet.

What a beautiful tribute to Elfie, she must truly be a special person.  "himself" don't sound bad either.   LOL, she calls hers "himself" and I call mine the "sheriff".

spent last 20 years in Ohio. All kids (3) grew up there.  NEVER did teach them kids what a snow shovel is for.
NOW, I am in Florida --- I enjoy all four seasons down here, Almost Summer, Summer, Still Summer, Rainy.
I have been here 2 years - haven't seen the first big snake (3 little ones - but I was out looking for them)
Love, love, love the keys -- wish I were closer to them - 5+ hours away by illegal speed.
Next move for me will be into small enclosure where my ashes will soon be distributed on Sanibel Island, hopefully in Ding Darling!
Kids all gone.  Just me, my best friend and wife, an lakeland terrier that thinks he owns the house, an airedale terrier that knows she owns the house, and a big yellow tabby cat that allows us to take care of him.
I am still working (thank God - and no help from Obama).
You are all welcome to come down to Florida anytime....its as close to paradise as you can get.

My husband was stationed at Ft. Walton beach for awhile in the AF.  i liked it there.

Florida is nice to visit. Alot of my family is there. Different parts.  Lived in Fort Myers for a brief time. It was ok. But if I play my cards right, I hope to move to anywhere middle ot just above middle Arizona.  Not now but when I can.  I like to visit Florida though.....

Elfie, didn't you say that you are from Wisconsin?  I wonder, do any of you or friends do any ice fishing?  Like the type that the two "Grumpy Old Men" did as part of that crazy movie they made?  I think they filmed it in Minnesota, may have been Wisconsin.  Does it even get that cold there?  I laughed at those two until i 'bout cried.

Alot happened here yesterday, as far as the weather is concerned.  we had temps in the 80's here most of last week and it was forecast to only get in the low 60's as early as monday.  Well, it didn't wait that long.  By early evening the temp only reached the high 60's and by dark the wind started blowing really hard.  We'll only get in the low 50's today and we have 26mph winds making it feel alot colder that it is.  All of this because of the big snowfall to the north of us.  It's early for us to be having this kind of weather.   Back in the upper 60's by mid week.  I have remembered the high for christmas Day in 1958 to be 70 deg.
