My Trip to Colorado

Last week, I took a trip to Colorado with my dad. He bought some land there, and is planning on retiring there. He needed my help to put down fence posts surrounding the perimeter of the land.

During the trip, we talked about my plans to do the same thing, but I don't think I want to do it in such a cold climate. Even though it was Spring time, the temperature was about 40-50 degrees Fahrenheit. This wouldn't be much of a problem if the wind hadn't been so strong the whole time. I just can't take the cold. Even when I was in Iowa for college I just tolerated it. It never felt like I got used to it; even after 4 years of college.

My plans for the future is to buy some land down south. I'm not sure where yet, but it definitely will be off-grid. That trip to Taos gave me a lot of confidence for off-grid living. After living in my car for those few months, I don't think I'll have any problems living with the bare minimum. But we'll see how that goes when the time comes.

Now that I'm back from the trip, I gotta work on finding a job to save some money to even buy some land. My goal is to save $10,000 a year for 4-5 years, but I don't know how feasible that is. I've been struggling to find a seasonal job, so I've decided to just find some full or part time work for the time being.

I haven't been making many blog posts lately. My posts are too spread out from each other. I'll try my best to write one every 10 days. It honestly shouldn't be that difficult since writing these only take about 10-20 minutes, and I feel like I always have something to say.
