Considering a move from Indiana to Southwest Colorado

Hi! My wife and I are from Indiana and were at TBF from 2008-2011. We haven’t been able to make it out the past 3 years because I reentered college as a pharmacy student. I’ll be graduating in May and got offered a job in Cortez. I have been through the town a couple times and it seems pretty innaresting. I have a wife and daughter and we are thinking of living in Mancos. We are usually pretty good doing our own thing and really enjoy all the outdoor activities in the area, but are a little concerned that we will be leaving a place with lots of family and friends to a place where we know nobody. Does anybody that knows the area have any advice on what life is like and if there is any hope of making new friends.

Cheers and Good vibes!!!
