Monte,

I'm thinking if you relocated your Home Base to Wells, it would make all of the WTHO events sooooo much easier. .

Now, how to persuade Monte Jr. . . . . . . .

The past several years have been interesting and eventful, especially with the WTHO's we've held. After the first two WTHO's I moved from Arlington Oregon, a nice, small, quiet town I enjoyed on the Columbia River, to here in Vale, Oregon, also a quiet small town but about 3½X more people than Arlington. I like Vale and the surrounding area, but as a native Utahan I've often had a desire to move 'back home.' Most of my kids and grandkids are there, but most I am out-of-touch with for various reasons. Bryan, my youngest, and his family are there and we're close and in regular contact, and Monte Jr. and his family are nearby with is also good .... and helpful.

but I just don't have a big desire to live in any larger-size metro area, so staying where I am is good, or close-by, or moving to a different smaller-size town. After our 3rd and 4th WTHO's, I have to be honest, I had a lot of interest in relocating to the Wells, Nevada area. It's about mid-size, between Vale and Arlington, and it is nice and quiet with a lot of nearby places to go detecting. Even last year I drove around and looked at a couple of houses that were for sale.

Life can be so good when we have good memories to reflect on and we think of things we like, or would like to do, and have the luxury of some carefree thoughts .... then reality hits.

X .. Health issues limit by driving to 1 to 1½ hours a day.
X .. Wells has a park and a school with woodchip playgrounds, so that's not much variety.
X .. The VA Clinic and VA Hospital are nowhere close to Wells, and that's a problem for me.

So, I think I'll stay in Vale or maybe move close-by, like Ontario or ?? That's, if I can find an affordable place for Miss Rikki and me.
