    Rusty, you always manage to find interesting people wherever you go (or they found you). Allen and Gracie are living their dream, and their happiness shows - wonderful smiles and very friendly. They have settled in and have been living this way for a while, so they are a wealth of practical experience for others wanting to retire off grid.

    Hey, Rusty, I liked this interview with Alan and Gracie. Nice set up. How many acres do they have, how did they find it, through a realtor, or word of mouth? I’ve never given much though about who might want to sell acreage at 9,000’ elevation? How do they split their time, what percentage of time do they spend in the mountains and how much in Alamogordo? Does their 4 season trailer keep them warm enough in winter or a snow storm in the mountains? Or do they avoid those times in the mountains. I like their set up, e.g., two homes to accommodate the seasons, but not a far distance between the two. Maybe I didn’t understand this correctly, but it sounded like they take the white water container to town and fill it up, in the back of their truck, and then take it back to the mountain and take the heavy container out of the truck and put it on the ground aside the trailer. How can two elderly people do that? I’m their age or older and I can’t imagine me, and even if it were Sylvester Stallone helping me, being able to do that. Maybe you could film that, not me and Sylvester but Alan and Gracie! Haha. Also, do they ever have explorers driving up their road to their homestead or perhaps they have a gate. I think about that kind of stuff, but if it had a babbling brook or small river, I’d take my chances.
    Rusty, you should do more interviews like this. It’s interesting and informative to see all kinds of people creating a lifestyle similar to what we all desire to find here. Thanks, Rusty.
