Just another AIOS1 site
I took Owen the Dog (who just got a haircut) up to put up a sign on a new listing.
The light up in this canyon was just incredible.
The house and property are equally as incredible with some of the most beautiful views I’ve ever seen in the 11 years I’ve been up here.

Local government employment fell in 60 of the 100 largest metropolitan areas since total
employment hit its low point, while state government employment fell in 43 of those metropolitan
areas, federal government employment fell in 50, and overall government employment fell in 50. In
the 100 largest metropolitan areas combined, even as total employment rebounded by 0.8 percent after
hitting its low point, local government employment fell by 1.2 percent and state government employment
fell by 0.2 percent, reflecting the impact of reduced local and state revenues. During the same time
period, federal government employment also fell, by 0.4 percent and total government employment fell
by 0.9 percent. State capitals were less likely than other large metropolitan areas to experience state
government job cuts; among metropolitan areas containing state capitals, state government employment
rose in 17 (Austin, Baltimore, Baton Rouge, Boston, Columbus, Denver, Des Moines, Hartford,
Honolulu, Madison, Minneapolis, Oklahoma City, Phoenix, Providence, Raleigh, Richmond, and Salt
Lake City), fell in six (Boise, Columbia, Harrisburg, Indianapolis, Little Rock, and Nashville), and
remained unchanged in four (Albany, Albuquerque, Atlanta, and Sacramento).
This is a picture of the valley along HWY 9 as I was driving out of Valley of the Sun last night after putting up some signs; campers were camping , fishermen were fishing, and the air had that certain smell that summer has where the aspens have leaved out and the willows are in color. Owen the dog was happy to get out and get some exercise after spending the day inside working on listings.
Summertime

Turn off the weather channel! Disregard what the weatherman/person is saying because 9 times out of 10 they are wrong! The weather patterns up in the mountains change quickly and this typically results in favorable conditions (not always).
So pack up the dog and the kids, the girl/boyfriend, or just yourself and head for the hills. Beat the heat. It’ll do you some good!
Just sold by Bristlecone Realty Group, an affordable HORSE property on 35 acres, directly adjacent to Nat’l Forest! Unbelievably scenic & peaceful w/ private fishing rights just down the street.

I just noticed on the way home from the office yesterday that Dorothy’s Homemade Tamales is moving into the bowling alley in Fairplay!! I can’t tell you how happy this makes me! For anyone that is unfamiliar with Dorothy’s, she was recently featured on the Food Network. She is open 7 days a week from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Of course her tamales are amazing, but the Tortilla Soup is the best I have ever had. If you’re looking for the biggest and best breakfast burrito ever, Dorothy’s is the place! Their phone number is 719-836-9120. Enjoy!!
In case any one is interested in knowing more on the mountain biking scene around in Park County, please stop in or call as I’d love to share info on some of the trails around here as they are really, really fun and virtually unknown.
Here is a little clip of a trip I took a few weeks ago with some friends out near Loma, Colorado on the western slope. My friend Wiley had a helmet camera and it made for some great footage.
Enjoy!
I’m trying to screen info that I find throughout my day so that you can become more knowledgable in your real estate endeavors. Maybe you’ll get something out of this. I thought it was very interesting.

I just walked down to AL-MART with Owen. I called first to make sure they allow dogs and of course they do.
I picked up a Pork Carnitas burrito so that I can have energy tonight while I work on inputting listings and pricing out a beautiful new construction home going up in Foxtail Pines. Anyway, while I was there, and seeing as it’s a Carhartt Super Store (in addition to being the world’s coolest mercantile), Cory happened to let me know that their slip on boots were on sale and so .. . . I had to pick some up for the office. (Business Expense).
While you’re there, don’t forget your AL-MART sticker and say hi to Cory or Mike.
This was a house we sold last winter that I couldn’t help taking a picture of as it had just snowed. I loved the light this particular morning.
I encountered this “fixer upper” on my way to Wildwood Rec Village. It just needs a little TLC.
I just shot this picture when I went out to get a picture of our building for the site. Spring is definitely in the air, but it hasn’t arrived just yet! It’s a great day to be in Colorado.
