Don't forget your chainsaw and logging chain.

I haven't visited Mancos since the awful forest fires of several years ago, but I know what you mean about the housing situation. Fortunately most of those Hollywood types went to Telluride instead of Durango (fools! that place is impassable most of the winter) but since the place has been growing for 30 years now I'm sure the prices are higher all the time. Remember that many people have CABINS up the Animas River Valley, and most of the year they stand empty. They will let reliable people live in them for free, and be in charge of the maintenance and security of their investments, and all you have to do is go check into a hotel at their expense when they are in town. People with no more than a carload of possessions and a kitty will not have nearly as much trouble finding non-conventional housing.

Well, I'm back! Thanks for the good wishes Mary Jane and, Bruce, I actually managed to avoid any adventures that required EITHER a chain saw or a logging chain. For ONCE!

That's a great idea about the cabins, Tonchi. It still hurts me to see what the big forest fire a few years back did to the area. You should see Missionary Ridge! Or maybe you shouldn't!

Anyhow, I made some good contacts, and have formulated a plan. I won't be able to leave here right away like I wanted (nothing is EVER that easy), but I think in 6 months time, I'll be basking in the spring sunshine somewhere around Cortez or Dolores.

It was a great fall trip and I took some snaps that I'll try to post for you all later!
