Living in Hotchkiss

Yesterday a nice realtor in Hotchkiss showed me a few properties in the Hotchkiss and Paonia areas; didn't see anything worth getting excited about but the experience was helpful.  For example, it confirmed that Paonia is probably out of my price range - saw a lot about 1 acre in size for $200k - ouch! Also learned that Rogers Mesa, west of Hotchkiss, is an agricultural area that warrants further exploration; more on this area later.
