You have a beautiful parcel on Pascoe...Hello Gary,<br /><br />You have a beautiful parcel on Pascoe. I walked around on it few years back when it was for sale.<br /><br />Also sold some in the area including the one kitty corner across the road with the foundation on it.<br /><br />Your parcel will have some pretty views of Mt. Mestas to the N/E and Mt. Blanca to the N/W with some trees cleared.<br /><br />I believe it drops all the way down into the little ravine right on the back of the parcel.<br />Nice mix of larger ponderosa and spruce trees. Having electric, phone and cell phone service onsite is a big plus, plus....3.2 acres! Cool!<br /><br />You have a really sweet parcel in a very pretty area of the development with some very nice neighboring homes and people.<br /><br />If you need a copy of the block or your lot plat, shoot me and email and I'll email you one.<br /><br />Congrats, and good luck with your build!Mountain Dream Landhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00863350988626154551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-178865360448684774.post-68872889597179534922012-02-28T05:45:09.235-07:002012-02-28T05:45:09.235-07:00Gary: I would be happy to answer those questions ...Gary: I would be happy to answer those questions I can. Your assumption is right that the snow in the front of the Park is less than where we live. It is amazing how a few miles makes such a difference. <br />That is not to say there isn't plenty of snow in the front of the park but clearly not as much. <br />I will send you an email so you will have my email address. <br />As to the direction of the wind, I'm afraid I don't know that answer but we have friends who have a cabin on Pasco that may be able to answer that question for you. I will put you in touch with them. <br />Welcome to the community and we wish you every success on your future home. I remember how excited we were when we built our home. It is really a fun experience. <br />One more comment on the wind. It is guided by the contours of the mountains and meadows. Ours comes from one general direction but yours could be different. <br />Take care and I'm glad you like our blog. I do it and the one for Mother Earth News to helpfully assist others who plan to live in the mountains.

I have lots of questions about the area and building and wanted to email them to you but cannot find your email on the blog. <br />One question i have is about snow fall in the front of the park, 197 Pascoe lane in particular (8800' elevation) where our lot is. Will this part of the park receive as much snow as in the higher elevations further back in the park? If not what are the differences? I notice more and bigger trees the further back you go indicating to me more precipitation ?<br />Also in the winter with the big winds from what direction are they coming from so i can position our cabin accordingly to offer some protection from direct blast of winter winds?<br />I plan to go this summer to clear a building site. Last summer we cleared a driveway. We really love the area and are planning our retirement home there in a few years. Currently we reside in Houston.<br />thanks, Gary<br />garyshayes@yahoo.com<br /><br />Gary Hayes<br />lot 197 Pascoe lane.Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06891151742498679410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-178865360448684774.post-8548024568419585322012-02-27T10:22:00.251-07:002012-02-27T10:22:00.251-07:00North Dakota Has No Comparison to Colorado... in B...North Dakota Has No Comparison to Colorado... in Beauty.

It takes some getting used to but the rewards out number any disadvantages. Thanks for visiting Bruce and hope you will come back for more visits. I have never been to N. Dakota but we camped once in S. Dakota and found it as beautiful as where we live now. Blessings to you too.Brucehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00263413130171705126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-178865360448684774.post-5814429131798284552012-02-26T22:46:13.061-07:002012-02-26T22:46:13.061-07:00Hi

Snows one day then melts the next. The geese never left this year and Thunders have been heard sounding already. Trees are budding abd syrup is being made. All too soon and not at the appropriate times. Glad things are going well for you and Carol and the dogs. Take care and stay strong. :) Onen.Sakoietanoreply@blogger.com
