For some of you, your small inner voice (or maybe just your plain ole’ common sense) is probably telling you that where you are now may not be the best place to spend the next few years.
For me, my inner voice (too often neglected), is urging me to find and help a handful of good souls who will, in fact, be much safer to get far from where they currently are. I have a place that I may be able to share. What has become my intended refuge began many years ago as an intended retirement home where, once finished, I knew I could live peacefully for next-to-nothing. I wanted to have the space and distance from “civilization” to pursue my interests without bothering anyone and without anyone bothering me. But I didn’t want to be so far from everything that I needed a bush plane to take my wife to dinner or buy a gallon of paint. Now, in pursuit of my career as an off-shore manufacturing manager, factory start-up guy and engineer, I have actually lived in more places than most people have ever seen and traveled to and spent time in dozens more far-flung places around the world. As a result, when I found that ‘right’ place for me almost 20 years ago, though it certainly was not perfect, I was able to evaluate it based on a lot of real-world, first-hand experience. Experience since then has only reinforced my initial impression. But the world continued to deteriorate since I first found this place. Not long ago, I realized that what had been intended originally as a peaceful retirement retreat, could, with some added features and provisions, serve as an ideal, out-of-the-way refuge when the defecation hits the ventilation, as most of us believe it surely will. Right now I live only about 2 ½ hours from my place, ‘the mountain’, as I call it. I plan to move there within the next two to three months. Once there, I still have a few months’ work to do before calling myself reasonably ‘ready’. Though it’s a labor of love, time is pressing and I cannot delay any longer. Although my original intent was for my wife and me to enjoy the relative solitude of the place in retirement, I now see that helping a few very special people should be a much more important and immediate focus. I have the space to develop fairly quickly a small, walled community for about 10 couples/individuals who have the need, interest, skills, courage, temperament, and character to participate and cooperate in such an undertaking. If a person likes the natural look and feel of Sedona, Arizona, they’ll love ‘the mountain’…except that ‘my mountain’ is located in Central México at about 7,100 ft above sea level where it’s never hot or cold. In addition to having a finer climate than anywhere in the US, bar none, ‘the mountain’ is not a place that attracts the wealthy, tax-collectors, tourists, marauders, or Big Brother. The land has a 50-mile view and borders on several thousand picturesque acres freely accessible to residents of the community. There are two rivers that meet in a canyon below, a small reservoir a few hundred yards away and only a couple of dozen quiet Mexican farmers living within half a mile. There is also a fair-sized cave on the property that extends an unknown distance beneath a cap of about 8-10 feet of solid stone, a real unique feature. Solar and wind energy are abundant. There is no record or memory of seismic activity in the area that I am aware of. The ‘mountain’ is almost 1,000 miles south of the nearest large US target/city and more than three hours north of México City. I have quietly done much over the past several years to build my place and put together its infrastructure which, previously, was sadly lacking. To develop the proposed community will build on what I have done already. Of course, it will require more effort, but only very modest amounts of money. I have most of the key tools, equipment, know-how, labor, and materials sources needed to proceed without delay. I do want to be clear on something very basic: I’m not trying to sell anything, not land, condominiums, time-shares…nothing at all, no scams, schemes, hoaxes or hustles….but I am willing to help put this together, working with a few good folks in the spirit of the new world we all hope is just around the corner. Also, I should mention, that if anyone wants be involved in this community but wants to get out of the US now, I can facilitate everything involved on the México end so that they would not have to first wait for development of the community before they leave. Living modestly in this part of México is very inexpensive and my wife and I know how to do it! Anyone who thinks they might be interested and qualified, please contact me at my personal box on the forum. Also, I put together quite a few pictures in a web album that I just uploaded to Picasa. I’ll send you the link on request so you can have a good look at the place and some of the work that’s already been done. I only recently found out about this forum, so have just joined. This is my first post and the first and only time to-date I have extended any inquiry for like-minded individuals to build this community. Time is, indeed, of the essence, so please contact me quickly if you feel this may be right for you and want to find out more. John Lee |
