Any Colorado wheelers out there?

[Rebelfish99]

I live in Virginia but I've been thinking of moving to Colorado, around the CO springs/Castle Rock area. I was wondering what the wheeling was like out there and any good places to live cheap and work. VA has too many laws and not enough job oppurtunities. I'm in construction and the job market is kind of slow. I have family and friends out there to help me get started but I would definitly like to move out there permantly. I guess I'm just asking is it worth leaving here?

I would think so, colorado has lots of outdoor living stuff to do, and most of the state is national forest, more wheeling than you could explore in a lifetime.

 

Job market, well, I'll let ya know when I get a job.

 

Cost of living is higher than other places, but still lower than many other places.

Well the cost of living here is rediculous, to get a 1 bedroom apartment in an area you won't get shot is around $1200 a month plus utilities. But I can deal with any job really just to get started.

Geeze, your cost of living is outrageous. I rented a 1bedroom condo in Vail for less than that. No worries about getting shot, just getting hit by a road raged tourist in their 'benze. I can't speak about the job market out there now as it was just beginning to crash when I left.

 

Maybe Jim will hire you to wash and wax all of his MJs :hmm:

Hey if its a job, I'll take it. Haha. Whats the closest area to Castle Rock on Craigslist? I have a lot of friends in that area and family in Colorado Springs and I've been trying to find a job close by. I was an auto mechanic for a couple years, I've been doing Geothermal Loop systems, wells, sprinklers, and natural gas fushion. I figured that for the many skills I have I could find something to do.
