Why we left and our family is considering it. Our ranch in Placerville was fantastic. Fire insurance, Population explosion and other gov and financial reasons made it impossible to stay. The link has some pics of just one of the many outbuildings on the place. The current "Calexodus" to other states is also off scale. Soon 50% of folks in OR will be ex Californians and have taken their wealth and tax money with them. This doubles the pressure on those who remain.
Back to ADs i recently looked at some of the biggest parts suppliers in CA. Seems like Online prices go up every day and supply is dropping. Labor is offscale as well at $125/hr. I could not afford to rebuild mine now if i wanted to continue to eat.
Again your perseverance/ work on the '50 is admirable and a warning to those who allow oldies to sit for too long.
