Colorado part I

We went to Colorado this last weekend to see the property my dad purchased to build his vacation cabin on. We had never been there and he is getting ready to start building this year and so we thought we would see what the area was like. It has been 6 years or more since we have been to Colorado and I was desperately missing the mountains. The picture above is not seen from his cabin site but it is in the local area.

This is his lot. Nora and Nathaniel are standing approximately where the cabin will stand. The view behind Nora is what the cabin will face towards. The trees behind Nora block some of the big mountains in the background. The property is located inside a development/gated community, I don't know a better way to explain it. It's a development because it's divided up into lots with streets but not like we are used to in the suburbs. This development is 20 square miles in size. It's gated and only owners have access and the homes are not allowed to be rented. It's very private and secluded. There are only about a hundred homes in the development and the roads are dirt. We had a fantastic time and can't wait till the cabin is built and we can visit.
