Volcanoes

The risks (volcano, earthquake, and earthquakes caused by volcanic activity) almost killed the deal.  But I dug deeper on those points and discovered that while the area is considered “seismically active” quite rightly, “seismic activity” isn’t always (and in that region most usually isn’t) strong enough for people to feel, let alone enough to cause property damage.  And the UCRB hasn’t had issues with flows (of any kind) from either closest volcano and will continue not to because the geography protects it.

It is a perfect little pocket of awesome.  And that matters when looking for the place that might become the location of the ancestral home.


So: learning more about everything so that next year we are ready.  Since we want acreage (not just a house in a suburb) but aren’t fooling ourselves that we are going to be farmers, the term “hobby farm” starts showing up.
