Here's what you get at Beaver Creek for $800/ night

Would rather give my money to Bear Creek (the arsenal ). At least I'd have something to show for it afterwards.

So you gave up the good life, fresh air, clean water, and exercise, for sitting on you ass in the sand, inviting skin cancer, and waiting for your next meal. And you call me delusional.

800/night to sleep some where? too rich for my taste.

A very appropriate analogy. The Captain and Tennille were a functioning entertainment duo who, although married, never slept with each other.

Unlike Darrell Dragon, however, I am not wound up like an 8 day clock, like Bible Boy seems to be.

I am happy to let Yadkin lead the show.

I do indeed. The older I get, the more I hate winter. I would like nothing better than to live next to a white sand beach and sip rum drinks and surf fish all day. But circumstances led me to settle down near DC. So here I am, an hour outside the swamp, making the best of it.

I did, however, try to bring a little bit of that beach life to my property. Here is my oasis for six months out of the year and a shot of me enjoying one of my favorite spots in the world - Seven Mile Beach in Negril.

Parts of North Carolina are good as well. Once spent 10 days on the beach at a place called Emerald Isle. Lots of unspoiled beauty there. At least, there was.

I agree. I thought I was looking at Flex's place until I saw the trees outside.

Grim.

The above post makes no sense, unless you consider it written by an irrational, spiteful person.

I agree. Larry has a bee in his bonnet lately. Ever since he told us he knows what God looks like because 'experts'.

Taking the Ranger on the trip: Logical choice. New vehicle, capable, and can haul lumber needed on ride back, saving $$$ an making the ride more comfortable. Winning.

Staying in a $800 per night Ski Lodge: Admirable. Spending time with your son and family and doing what you love and still being able to do it. Time you will never regret spending later on. As good as it gets, IMO.

Looks to me like you're enjoying an active retirement with family and fun activities, and Larry is neck deep in yet another project, in between swatting mosquitoes and killing poisonous snakes.
