This one is for the long-haul driver who spends fifty weeks a year looking at other people’s land through a windshield.
Five acres outside Blanca, Colorado, where the road noise finally stops. Blanca Peak, all 14,345 feet of it, stands off to the northeast like it is keeping watch. Park the rig, unfold a chair, and listen to absolutely nothing for a while. You have earned nothing.
Fair warning: this is high desert. It is dry, it is windy, and it does not care about your lawn mower. It gets about two feet of snow a year, which means you are close to the snow without being buried in it. People who settle in this valley learn to work with the land instead of against it, and most of them never leave.

Power lines are in the area, so call Xcel Energy if you want to know what it would take to connect.
