Quick update for anyone who made it this far in the newsletter!

In last week’s poll, no one voted for the Hiking portion of the newsletter so I have decided to remove that section. By far the most popular choices were Fast Facts and Homes for Sale! Moving forward, I will try to add more information regarding these two sections of the newsletter. I really appreciate all of the support so far in this journey! Thank you to all who follow along while we explore these beautiful places in the mountains!
