Terry disconnected the car from the RV to travel Hwy. 50 before we crossed Monument Pass. The altitude is almost 12,000 feet. I didn’t think that I would ever drive in a snowstorm in May but the date was May 4.
Four years ago, we went to church in Cotopaxi, Colorado and were invited to the annual picnic lunch afterwards. At the picnic, we met Richard and Kathleen. Since we are interested in solar and energy saving living, they invited us to their house in the mountains at just under 9,000 feet in altitude where there are no electric lines.
Terry said that he’d like to see the place again. I have emailed Kathleen several times and feel that we are friends. I emailed again and asked if it would be convenient to visit. Richard and Kathleen said they would be delighted to see us.
The second mountain scene is from their window. The huge item in the photo with Terry is their water tank. You can see their solar panels and wood storage. They use the stove and fireplace for heat.
Kathleen has a wonderful kitchen. I envy her dishwasher. She even has a custom-made spice cabinet. She not only has an island that is 4 feet by 8 feet for storage but also has 6 feet by 7 feet walk-in pantry. At lunch we learned that she is also a good cook.

If you are interested in living in a place like this, it's for sale. Kathleen and Richard want to move closer to their grandchildren.

What a beautiful home! It's much grander than our former mountain home in Montana, it's also higher (ours was at about 7000 feet elevation), and we had electricity! But we did most of our heating with wood. Gosh, all the comforts of home!
