On July 11, 2011 our family set off on a journey unknown. We had packed up all our stuff, made two truck runs, and left city life. We purchased a 33 year old home in the rural area known as the Chaparral Subdivision. What does that mean? Well, according to the post office, our zip code is in the town of Deer Trail. Though the actual town is 30 minutes away. According to our taxes, we pay to the Agate district. That town is also 30 minutes away (opposite direction). According to county records, we live in the county of Elbert. OK, so that might not seem strange, except for the fact that both Deer Trail & Agate are in Arapahoe county. So, we sort of belong nowhere, but to everyone. We live in the rural of rurals. Dirt roads in every direction. The nearest city is over an hour away. Why did we do it? I'll explain that later.
So are we getting accustomed to rural life? Let's just say it's been an adventure. And that's what this blog is about. Our adventures in Deer Trail. Enjoy!
