Here's a good example of what you'll see from your new back porch:

Hopefully there won't ever be another view like this:

That house remains my dream residence. Set up an all-weather viewing platform at the back fence with a coffee machine / bar fridge and maybe a few bed and breakfast cottages... sit back and watch the Benjamins (and trains) roll in  ;D

Now to convince the wife   ;)

Stats show 963 RW members, so we need 'only' about $404 per member...   ;D


I'm in, who's with me?

Nice shots, makes a change to see it nice and green. Would definitely be up for a trip there in Spring 2011.

Hm, airfare for Denver to LAX is showing up under $200 for April 5-8 2011.....

I'll have to check on my frequent fliers......

LAX to Tehachapi in 2 hrs (or less).  Can we have the house in shape by then?

Drive to Seattle and catch Southwest: $118 each way to LAX or Burbank (the latter is a wee bit closer to Tehachapi).

With any luck, I'll be living in Vancouver by then.  If you're still there, we can carpool to Seattle.  :)

So is it too soon to pencil in a date(s) for a trip?   The early April (say 5th-8th)  would be nice for getting a lot of 'green' pictures   ;)

I'm not asking for any commitment, just interest.
