Why Lakeview..?

That's a good question, ha ha.
My wife's dad lived just a little south of there. He passed away a little over a year ago. My wife has made several trips up there to clean out his house, deal with the estate, etc.
Basically she fell in love with the area, the small town, the natural beauty and the wildlife. I've been up there twice with her and I like it because of the lack of people, crowds, traffic, etc. It's literally like Mayberry, I kept expecting to see Andy and Barney Fife walking around town.
I've been I Boulder county my whole life, and I'm just ready to move, anywhere, just tired of everything here.
