Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, click this link (fngt.gq). That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then you can donate.

I almost retired to the Tahoe/Truckee Pass area of California. They get 8 to 12 feet of snow in a storm sometimes.

They have roads/storms where they stop traffic and only let certain traffic through - where you have to have chains on the car. They won't let you through otherwise.

But, I was able to get a giant chunk of land in Maine at a much lower price. There's no way I could have bought 3k acres in that area. It just wouldn't happen.

Also, the land here was a whole lot less expensive. Like a lot less expensive. I spent well under $1000 an acre for the property the house sits on.

Plus Maine had a house across the road that I could buy. That put me in the area and able to help/watch while my house was constructed. So, I could be in Maine to retire sooner/easier.

I put a bid in for the property, I won the bid, and I signed for the property a few weeks later.

I had a great deal of familiarity with Maine already, but mostly Southern Maine and Central Maine.

My family even owned a hunting cabin here in Maine - though I hadn't been there since I was really young.
