Let me guess, everyone knew about this but me  :oops:

http://www.bigbendgazette.com

Thought that it was interesting that the only grocery store in Marathon has closed.  http://www.bigbendgazette.com/blog/_archives/2006/2/1/1764804.html

Muse, what you say to packing up up and head-em-out and open up a grocery store in Marathon?  We can be shopkeepers.  Kinda like the shop keepers on Little House on the Prarie - not saying you are anything like whats-her-name - or maybe we could be like Ike and Clarabeth on the Waltons?  Probably dating myself severely here...  :oops:

Heck, if that lady could keep the grocery store open for 25 years then they must have made some money - at least enough to survive on. :?:

Our grocery store will only be open certain days of the week, probably ought to call it a trading post or something.  I figure we probably need to take 2-3 days off a week each week so that we can head to the bend...
Maybe we could have a saloon too - whiskey.

So the grocery store owner is moving to Heath Canyon, now that's what I call retirement.  I guess she will do her grocery shopping now at Stillwell's store....

There's also a story about some land for sale with restrictions, Christmas Mountains...  Only $370K.  Write'em a check.

And for the rock-hound viper out of Austin @ UT, there is even an article on someone making a living with rocks....
