Hi I just have to say that I am very happy with the response I have gotten from my thread Communal Living by bloodredrose. I'm still in the process of finding the land, I know it's close, we will find it soon. Our goal is by the end of november. I know the universe will provide! She always does! What our plan is, is to buy the land and an RV or trailer for the winter, so we at least have a place to function while building in the spring. Or if I can come across a nice house on a big parcel, but that last one, solar powered, off the grid, was sold. Bummer, but hey we will find just the right place for this project. So all who have replied thank you, and hang in there! Anyone else interested reply here or to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/newsfromcrestone/
