I'm about to leave to head back to Wisconsin with my fiancee. I'm really not looking forward to the colder temperatures or the seasons where there is no snow and it is too wet to mountain bike. There are about four months of the year where I live in which the weather really is miserable, 7-8 if you don't like winter. I have a cross-country ski resort, so winters are not all so bad. Even so, I don't have to think long or hard to remember the times stepping outside to frigid cold and wishing snow was a summer thing.

I LOVE being able to walk outside at any time of day or night with just a t-shirt. Love to be able to paddleboard my favorite river Yasica any day of the year- never too cold or too hot.

Lately I have started to think about buying 300 acres or so on a river to construct mountain bike trails (and a house) and live here year round. Land is cheap, especially away from tourist areas, where I would not build.

However, any person who has lived here and pays attention to what is going on, studied a bit, knows that building a house anywhere in the country really is a risky proposition in a myriad of ways. One has to plan that at some point they WILL run into problems and corruption and be ready to deal with it.

At this moment, I could not build a house here due to all the risk I see. It's unfortunate, as the country is spectacular, most of the people are extremely nice, especially in the campo away from tourist areas, and the weather is perfect.

It's unfortunate that the government can't get their act together.
