..... there's always my roots in the desert and that single wide with the tires on the roof to keep the desert wind from peeling it like a tin can. 
Yes, it's nice to have a fall-back position. Our summer cottage near Gettysburg gives us that safety valve.....$10k could winterize it

PAS2K: I've taken the ferry from Port Angeles to Vancouver Island / Vivtoria. I'm not familiar with the Sunshine Coast. I've only seen the San Juans from Bellingham, though my daughter has veen there. Numerous times to Whidbey Island because you can easily drive there. Other people seem to think it is nice there too, based on traffic. Smokie made a lot of good observations. My info is a bit dated. I might just have to visit Bend, OR now, based on comment made. I'm running out of convenient opportunities since my son is leaving CA next summer and going to the right coast.

Can't believe none of the Dragon junkies have chimed in yet with a suggestion of the Knoxville / Alcoa area of TN. What a beautiful place!

For some reason I thought this might fit in here.
After Christmas, a teacher asked her young pupils how they spent their holiday away from school. One child wrote the following:
We always used to spend the holidays with Grandma and Grandpa. They used to live in a big brick house but Grandpa got retarded and they moved to Las Vegas. Now they live in a tin box and have rocks painted green to look like grass. They ride around on their bicycles and wear name tags because they don't know who they are anymore.
They go to a building called a wrecked center, but they must have got it fixed because it is all okay now. They do exercises there, but they don't do them very well. There is a swimming pool too, but in it, they all jump up and down with hats on.
At their gate, there is a doll house with a little old man sitting in it. He watches all day so nobody can escape. Sometimes they sneak out. They go cruising in their golf carts. Nobody there cooks, they just eat out. And, they eat the same thing every night ------early birds. Some of the people can't get out past the man in the doll house. The ones who do get out, bring food back to the wrecked center and call it pot luck.
My Grandma says that Grandpa worked all his life to earn this retardment and says I should work hard so I can be retarded someday too.
