    Hey thanks SteveScott, we have considered getting out of Colorado. Thought of going to Wyoming... most likely Gillette. The wife is going to be a truck driver no matter what. Most likely just do a local gig. I would probably just do a local thing too... if I decided to go that route. Colorado is definitely expensive. House next to me just sold for $495k.... I paid $375k 3 years ago for mine. Mine appraised close to the house next store. I'm sitting in a very good situation right now... just trying to figure out my next move.

    Thsnks.

    We have decided to forego the Team idea. The Wife will find a job driving local. I might go to school and get my class A and find some part time work on the weekends and vacations.

    Cheyenne & Wamsutter have lots of driving jobs. Of the 2, Cheyenne is bigger/more jobs/nicer closer to Denver.

    Why do say that? That's what the housing market is like in Denver. My house is a very modest 3bdrm ranch.
