On the positive side of things . . .

I have a very good friend who lives in Farmington with his wife and two daughters. They are very happy living there.

It is a small community, no doubt. But the things my friend likes about it:

1) Very close to cross-country and downhill skiing/snowboarding in Durango during winter months.
2) Many, many outdoor trails for hiking, mountain biking, road biking, photography, etc.
3) Very close to some really good fly fishing spots.
4) Based on 1, 2, and 3 above, if you enjoy camping or generally doing outdoor activities, FMN is as good as any place to be.
5) Perhaps the best part for any underpaid pilot . . . relatively low cost of living.

Just trying to offer a brighter perspective.
