During the latter half of the 20th Century, maybe around 1980 or so, I built houses for the Cerro Gordo community.

CERRO GORDO - Home CERRO GORDO Nestled in the foothills of Oregon's Cascade Mountain Range, Cerro Gordo is currently a collection of 13 homes and families organized as a cooperative, with access to conservation easements consisting of 1,000 acres of mountains, meadows, forests, and creeks. The entire site sits above Dorena Reservoir just outside of the quaint town of Cottage Grove.

Think of them as a consortium of equestrians and railroad enthusiasts. They wanted a town without cars. When an island in Alsea Bay fell through they settled on land that had a BLM access road through it. That doomed the project even though a steam excursion train ran along the shore of Dorena Reservoir. Today the train is gone, and the track is now a biike path.
Cottage Grove is quaint? This tells you it's a bunch of transpanted Californians.
Anyway, I divided my needs between a car, a bike and the city bus [seniors ride for free] more or less equally prior to Corona-chan, but between the masking required and the Schwinn Collegiate rear axle being Unobtainium I am walking more. Good thing my knees are getting better (with age
).
