Albert and Ellen (LN)

I've been trying to find their website/forum for the South Side. Are they still up and running? I haven't heard from them for quite some time. Anyone talk to them lately?

From what I understand they are planning on moving to a town near Ensenada on the Baja once LN is fully healed.

Wow.  I knew Ellen was hurt...I just didn't realize how badly.  Sounds like it shot their dream of developing their property in the head.  They were living in their fifth wheel travel trailer when we visited them. It was nice and the views were awesome... but I'm sure it was not all that much fun with a broken leg.  They had such great plans.  Rotten luck.  Hope everything goes smoother from here on out.  

It will probably make me think twice when I climb on one of my unbroken colts for the first time.....nah.... probably not.  But it does bring up the fact that we don't heal like we did when we were 20.  What a bummer.

Thanks for the website Bob. I went there but didn't recognize anything! They've given up their Southside Forum completely?

Really?  They had it for quite awhile.  Not a lot of activity but you could get questions answered.

it was dead practically from the getgo-never had much activity

You're right..not a lot of activity but it was a connection to the Southside where I could go for information.  There's nothing else that fills that spot, which is too bad.

The sad part is that they filled a niche that nobody else was...or is.  That new website isn't about the Southside.  I think too many people just looked but didn't join in and I'm sure it got frustrating for them..they really tried hard.  Ellen's injury must have been the final straw.  It really is sad..they were so enthusiastic.

Seems to me there was another board that was dead from the day it was taken over.

Well yeah, that's true too.....just wish there was someone on the South Side that kept happenings there reported.

But if they go to Baja..... there was lots of info on their forum that I never saw on the others.

It's a moot point of course..if it's gone..it's gone.

I don't do facebook.... just something about it that weirds me out.

Yeah, I guess so. It's so easy to get caught up in those kinds of things...I waste enough time as it is...with a gazillion projects staring at me..large sigh.

It's just so sad when you see families out to dinner...and every is using their electronic whatever.  There are some things I like about this techie era...like research is so quick...but for the most part ..I'm not a fan.... but then...my parents are gone and I don't have kids.
