Hi, I am new to the forum. My family currently lives in Denver.  We and several other families are 99% on board with moving up to WY here in the VERY near future. We are planning to do a weekend road trip up north soon to decide what areas we might relocate to.  Sundance/Newcastle are at the top of the list.  What are the towns/counties with the most FSW'ers living in them?  How can we meet up with some people face to face?

Welcome! Newcastle and Sundance... and surrounding areas - are pretty well populated with FSW folks. Let us know when you are coming and we'll gather the clan. We're always eager to meet new folks.

Thanks Mama Liberty.  We are politically active where we live.  Have an FSW'ers gotten into local politics yet?  What are the political demographics of the Black Hills area?   We are thinking of buying some land out side of town to develop.  Does anyone know of any small acerage parcels in the area for less then $20,000?

Seriously suggest you read the "frequently asked questions" here: http://www.fundamentalsoffreedom.com/fswforum/index.php?board=32.0

FSW is not a political organization at all. Some of our members are politically active, but as individuals only.

Lots of information about real estate and prices here: http://www.fundamentalsoffreedom.com/fswforum/index.php?board=12.0

There are very few really small parcels of land available except city lots or in a few developments near towns. Most areas have a 35 acre minimum, and land is usually not less than about $2,000 an acre unless you are buying very large tracts of it. There are bargains around, but you have to be in the right place at the right time usually to find them.

Take a look at the vast amount of information available here at the FSW forum. Use the search engine. Many of us are happy to help, but we can't do your leg work for you, of course. Your boots on the ground here will be necessary to find what you want and need.

Sounds like modern day California Dreamin'.  More time in Wyoming would make such
dreams subside, no doubt.

Oops. I think I wrote that. I'm guilty of being a fan of the zombie/cannibal/plague/teotwawki stuff. But here there are really folks everywhere that look and act like the walking dead. Homeless, drug addicts, gangs of thugs on the corners. Shootings(2 days ago at least on my street) and all kinds of crap littering the street. A month ago I walked to my apartment following a blood trail for about a block that looked like someone bled out for a while then got up and dragged a bloody foot for a block. One time some church folks were handing out sandwiches and a guy in a sleeping bag, to their horror, was eating a pigeon! Feathers and all. And you go a few blocks away in one direction and you're around million dollar homes. A few blocks the other way and it's tourists. It's not hard to see what the future will be like here.

And I know this is the Free State Wyoming Forum. But to me I see all of the decay here and I think, this absolutely can not be allowed to happen to Wyoming. It's all we've got left.

Good heavens, Dodd - you need to get out of there, seriously! A "crime wave" where I live is a gas drive off and a stack of late library books. If all of the mala prohibita type stuff was repealed, there really wouldn't be much of any "crime" here at all.

That nonsense where you are can't help but bring out a zombie phobia! Yikes!

We had a "horrible" crime here in Thermopolis right after I moved back here.  A drunk was observed riding a bicycle.  Also have strange people reported standing on street corners, but, when cops get there they are gone.  Then we had a drunk walk several blocks from a bar at 3:00 AM and tried to get in our house.  He missed his house by a block.  He was a very nice drunk and apologized profusely while laying on his back in the snow by our front door.  That's about it for crime where we live.

Can't remember where it was, but I read a while back about a man arrested for DUI - while riding his horse. Crazy. The horse knew how to get home safely. :)

That is adorable. It sounds like the stuff dreams are made of. :)

No, but seriously I am planning to get out of here. I just have some loose ends, money to save, and some folks I don't know how to leave behind. They'll not move, and won't consider the fact that an economic crunch is happening to all of us. I need to at least help them get squared away, even if I have to do it for them, in order to be able to live with myself.

However, I've only one life to live and I won't live it in misery here like a loyal dog.

I get it now. Last night I had a conversation with a gentleman from Texas about how friendly folks are there and I felt terrible for being so wound up and unhappy with people in the city. I've been thinking about how all of my worldly experience has made me appreciate how precious Wyoming is and how I want to conserve it and I hope folks there understand how precious it is and fight for it. True, but all muck. Sigh.

Dodd,

You can only do so much and then you have to make your own stance(as I am sure you know).  I firmly believe that you are an asset to Wyoming and we will welcome you whole heartily when you finally make the life changing journey.

Thank you both. I'm humbled and grateful.
