I look forward to reading it. I've up and moved my family from IL to CO in August. My few trips to the mountains Elk hunting changed me forever.

But right now I'm in the early stages of withdrawal from not getting more than about six scattered days of bowhunting in Sept. I'm used to hunting whitetails from Oct to Jan. and hunting like a lunatic in Early November. By mid November I'm not sure what condition I'll be in.
I just know that next year will be another story once I can buy as a resident here in CO.

I hope skiing can somehow fill the void.

Good Luck and post lots of pics.
