This story intrigues me -- how did you end up at this place and what is
your deal there?

Ha... thanks for your interest guys.
The front gate is 14 miles from the Ranch house.... all real serious 4 wheel
drive..... plan accordingly.... Sign on front gate reads "Entry by
Invitation Only" sign below that reads "Use of Deadly Force Authorized
beyond this point".... plan accordingly. "Peaceful" and "Quiet" are the
commodity of the day.
Someone ask about internet service... satellite up link.
Homestead isn't an option, sorry.
If times get really tough and you need to go to ground there are a couple of
inactive mines on the property. One goes straight down 980 ft. with lateral
shafts which go out as much as a 1/2 mile or so.... several cavities large
enough there to park a duce and half with "spares".. the other one has
several drifts that are over 3000 ft long. You are on your own,, I don't do
hard rock underground.
I'm pretty sure I could find room for a few more Mercedes should the need
arise.. ;))

Yep.
The natives made it here without land titles.
And, lived off the land quite fine.
We lived east of Colorado Springs and there were a very few very
memorable dark dark nights - put your hand in front of your face and
it could not be seen. You could hear the guy 5 miles away shut his
car door, but the terrain was not quite that flat for that. Listened
to the war games from Ft. Carson on the coldest nights of the winter.
I understand that NORAD is now deep underground at Schriever AFB which
was 10 miles west of us - we were 35 miles east from the Springs - I
toured inside when it was Falcon Station. Wonderful place, best water
on the planet, open, real liberty - the kids have never given me peace
about moving to IL.
