Special Government Rehab Program- FHA 203K Rehab Loans in Estes Park CO. This article will explain the little-known special government loan program that is part of FHA (Federal Housing Administration- a department within HUD). A home buyer or existing home owner can remodel or update their home without having a higher cost second lien thanks to this special FHA loan program. "Luxury items" like a hot tub and a swimming pool are not allowed by this FHA loan program. You can repaint, remodel cabinetry in kitchens and bathrooms, replace appliances and flooring, add wallpaper, or even add a room to an existing structure (which will increase the value of your home because of more square footage). The biggest advantage with this government loan program is that instead of having two higher in...

One of the best places my family has stayed in while visiting Colorado is the Hermit Park Open Space Cabins.  The camper cabins are in Larimer County's Open Space.  They aren't exactly luxury- porta potties and no running water, but you do have propane lights and heat.  The cabins are only about 20 minutes away from Rocky Mountain National Park and even less for the town of Estes Park. Most of the Hermit Park cabins have two sets of double bunk beds, a table, outdoor picnic table, and a covered porch.  For around only $86 a night or so for the cabin and park permit, it's a great price for being so close to Rocky Mountain National Park and Estes Park!

  Colorado is one of my favorite places to visit.  There is so much to see and do there, especially outdoors.  The picture above is of my son and his children as they walked along a trail in Rocky Mountain National Park.  They took many beautiful pictures on their trip of waterfalls, rivers, flowers, and snow capped mountains.

The Elks are out and about these days.  It seems like the males are getting possessive. The pictures where shot in Estes Park at the golf course along Fish Creek Rd., by the two lakes when you drop down into Estes Park   The larger of the two elk had a harem of ladies around the corner and according to some other people, he had been running smaller bulls off all day to keep them away from his girls. Then this 6X6 bull decided he was going to challenge the bigger bull which was a 6X7 with more body weight and he ended up getting his butt kicked. The fight lasted about 7-8 minutes and then the loser made a mad dash out of there with the bigger bull right on his butt. We were up on a road about 60 yards away. It was quite exciting watching and listening to their antlers clash. Pictures and...

I feel that there is no place as peaceful and beautiful at this time of year than in the mountains of Colorado.We were fortunate enough to spend a Sunday with a group of 40 of our good friends in the mountains of Estes Park and one of the best parts of the day is no cell phone reception!The picnic grounds allowed us to explore the hiking trails, long walks around the fishing lake and BBQ pits.We all brought dishes to share so there was plenty of food to go around.Games were played and we had music to dance to,.Since the group are all dancers we started the line dancing in the dirt with tennis shoes on.And best of all we got to visit with each other and catch up with our lives.Until next year when we do it for the 4th annual picnic.......

Colorado has a small moose population that is growing.  Typically the few moose that we have can be found on the Western Slope or the West side of the Continental Divide if you know where to look.  Occasionally over the past few years we have had some bulls that wander over to the Eastern side of the Continental Divide looking for love.  Once they figure out they are lost they typically head back up the Poudre Canyon for the West side. Recently we have had some sightings of some moose around Estes Park.  This cow along with her calf have been wandering around town.  The first sighting I heard of was by the big slide at 7:00 AM on Sunday morning.  The next day by the Catholic Church and moving North.  I captured this shot while the cow and her calf were resting at the MacGregor Ranch Nor...

Greetings from Estes Park! The Estes Park High School Band under the direction of Chuck Varilek and UNC student teacher, Leigh Thielen, participated in the Colorado Bandmaster's Association Contest event yesterday in at Fossil Ridge High School in Ft.

Greetings from Estes Park! After I dropped the boys off at school this morning, I couldn't resist driving out on HWY 7 to get a shot of Meeker and Long's Peaks with the clouds blowing across them...and the morning sun shining sideways across the sky. I was out of the car just long enough to take a photo or two, with the temperature right at zero and 60 mph winds...it was a little chilly!
