We made it to town last Thursday, finally! We drove in from Texas and had an ordeal in Cortez Colorado. Our car was hit by a bail of hay that fell off of a passing truck. A 90lb bail of hay does not do well to a car when it comes flying off a truck at 65 miles an hour. Our 45 minute drive threw Colorado turned into a two day stay.
Needless to say we are so excited to be here and can't wait to find a home, we are currently crashing with some generous friends of ours. We are in need of a rental house or townhome that will take dogs. We are looking for a cute neighborhood preferably close to the max as well as some coffee shops, restaurants and grocery stores. Anyone have any suggestions on neighborhoods we should look at? We both fell in love with the Orenco Station area and found a few houses out there but don't want to jump on the first thing we see.
Can't wait to get to know everyone on here! It's great to be home.
Re: We are here!!!!
I love the Orenco Station area, very cute. Also Tanasbourne in general is a great area, and the MAX is easily accesible.
Glad you are ok aftre getting hit by a bale of hay! Crazy!
