Chronicle of the process of moving from USA to Mexico

And then there was Fort Collins...
About the middle of last week, I found out that I was going to New York on a work related trip. So why not see if I can find a good flight deal that will allow me to check out Fort Collins enroute? It had come up in the last week as a candidate location for whatever lies ahead for Stan, MDog and self.
A late winter storm passing through the Denver area might have been one good reason. When I checked weather earlier in the week it had not been in the forecast.
Fort Collins made a very good impression on me. It is a big small town (or vice versa) and the home of University of Colorado. Houses in the historic district are very appealing.
The city streets have many large trees. I did notice lots of evidence of lighting strikes.
While there are brick houses here, they are less common than in Denver.
While I was somewhat concerned proceeding with the trip despite the snow, I am glad that I did. The city is quite pretty with a coating of the white.
And then it was time for the quick hop up to Wheatland.
I am now warm and cozy up at the ranch for an all too short visit with Mona and Clark. Dinner is in the works. It doesn't get much better than this.
Tommorrow I have to get up quite early and drive back to Denver in hopes that roads and flights are back in operation. On to New York. Of course if I find out that flights are still postponed that wouldn't be too bad either - sometimes you just have to let whatever happens happen.
More later...
