[q=Meat Puppet]I wouldn't move now, God seems to have targetted us to get bombarded by storms.[/q]Only 'cause you're up north... I'm in Christchurch, and it's warm and sunny and just a bit breezy. Those storms were really something, I can't believe how bad it was up there.

[q=DeBlayde]What kinda job can a guy get that'll help save money for the building and operating of a nice comfortable beautiful hiking lodge with several head of horses for people to ride to the nearby coast?[/q]...Anyway, you can get practically any job here that you can get in the US, except that there's a much smaller market for each. Our population's only four million, after all. IT's always a reliable source of income, it depends on what you like and what you're good at, really. Setting up a hiking lodge would be an expensive business, but even more pricey if you wanted to include horses. Vets, ferriers, trainers, riders, government approvals... it'd cost a whole lot more. You'd be better off establishing a hiking lodge, and just catering to foot-travellers in my opinion.

Nice idea though
