"Imagine all the people. You can say im a dreamer but im not the only one." If we learn from each other, we will have a great community. I a glad some of my ideas are already being used by other land owners in Pilot Valley. Hopefully when I finally get there, I will be able to see what worked and what didn't.

Earthquake in Haiti Might Change Building plans

I have been rethinking of my structures to be built. Earthquakes can be devastating, I do not think Nevada has alot of them. But I do not want my dream to end under my structure. I know my shed I bought from LOWES is hurricane rated, but I do not know the earthquake ratings. I do not think my tents would be affected by an earthquake, but I know the winds may affect them. I really think the storage containers are a great way to go, as i do not think steel would shake apart. My only concern is the cost of them. Im sure I probably could have got one for the same price as my shed, but my fear was the cost of transporting one to montello to my land. I am going to do some more research before my move.

Moving Date Has Changed

I've decided, that due to some relationship drama, that its best if I move to montello long before October date. I'm going to empty my storage unit, of all my supplies I originally bought and just start driving to pilot valley. Hopefully I will be able to hook up with Rev Mike, my closest neighbor and hopefully new best friend. If I live and make it, then great, if I fall to the wayside like other pioneers of years past, oh well. I have a dream and I can not let my dream die, no matter how much it hurts to lose the love of my life. I deserve to be happy, and away from people. Why should I not pursue my dreams.
