    Qxxx I wanted to let you know I saw my Pulmonologist today and he thinks Diamox is an excellent drug for high altitude sickness. He said if I take it slow I should be ok. Thanks for the heads up

    Qxxx Thanks for your concern. I have been encouraged by the concern shown and the very helpful advice I have received here.. As we age we encounter different problems than when we were younger. The "can do" attitude found in this forum makes me believe that this problem can be solved.

    Tx2sturgis Thanks so much for your very generous offer. I had been researching free campsites.net to plan a route that allows me to go from sea level up in elevation gradually. I will pm you when I know for sure when I'm leaving. I'm more than willing to learn from your experience. Thanks...

    Thank you. I have an diagnosis of left sided heart failure with preserved EF. I had a MI in January of of 2019. Prior to that I had no problems with altitude. I lived and worked in Santa Fe through most of 2017. I couldn't tell much difference between there and Houston. I have seen a...

    Still trying to resize photos. Solar and electric installed and functioning. Alpicool T-36 working well. Portable A/C works on shore power and 2000 watt Wen generator.

    Gslam I appreciate you sharing your concerns about embarking on a new lifestyle. I share some of your same concerns. In some ways I've been preparing for my own change my whole life.

    I checked the link and they are currently out of stock. Looks like a viable alternative. I will keep a lookout for when they are in stock.  Thanks for the suggestion.

    Thanks I understand about the west and elevation.  That's my goal. Unfortunately the last time I went to the Colorado high country I ascended way too fast and wound up in the ICU with CHF.  I've since learned that I need to go up no more that 1000 feet in a day. If I experience problems I may...

    Hello Folks It has been a busy few weeks as I've been working more than usual. I've had a few days off and with some content help I've completed the insulation and flooring. We have started on the wiring and hopefully will be finished with that task. Next is the max air fans and a 1000 watt...
