Imagining

One of the things that's been on our "to-do" list during our stay here in Buckhorn has been to check out "The Club". Said club is a long-term lease community designed for Class A motorhomes that sits adjacent to Buckhorn Lake Resort. After two months of hanging around here, we finally got around to checking the place out yesterday.

It's lovely. There's a lot to like about it. On our "pros" list is having a home base where our motorhome would be welcome and that we wouldn't have to worry about when we decided to pull out and be gone for months. The casitas, as they're called, are gorgeous. But, it would be more accurate to call them homes. The neighbors seem great and each place is beautifully designed and well constructed. Like we said, it's all lovely. We could easily see ourselves moving in. (Really, it's too easy!)

At the top of the "con" list is the whole long-term lease thing. We'd buy a home but not own that land upon which it sits. Now, that's a head scratcher! And, when the time comes when we're looking for a home base, we'd like to rest the moose under cover, and that's not happening here. Plus, as much as we love Hill Country, it's a two-day drive to family and friends in Kansas City, at best. We'd like to be closer, but not too close, if you know what we mean.

This has all been a very healthy exercise in imagining. Truth is, we're not ready to find a home base, just yet. But, when we are, we'll be able to compare and contrast any place we consider to a really pretty spot we're mighty fond of in Hill Country.
