Ok you got me to come in from lurker status. Started reading threads on this site a couple weeks ago.

The wife and I will be buying a property to retire on later this year. One of my google searches located this site. We actually have 35 acres in Colorado with a couple small ponds (largest is 1/8 acre) but winter in Colorado at 9400 feet elevation isn't how the wife wants to retire.
So it looks like the search for a property will begin this summer in middle to eastern Tennessee. Lots more reading to do in the mean time.
