glacier view meadows subdivision: Nature's Drugstore & Cowboy Toilet Paper - 10/25/11 08:57 AM
Nature’s Drugstore & Cowboy Toilet Paper
It started out with a few photos of these curious plants; I thought they were pretty, especially with the fall colored scenery behind them.
A few days later, at the Glacier View Meadows office, I learned the plant’s name: Common Mullein (Verbascum Thapsus) -sometimes called the Great Mullein because they grow up to 6 feet tall.
!
At the GVM office there was a small handout stating some concern that this Common Mullein is cropping up more frequently in our meadows and on our hillsides.
Just one Mullein plant can produce 300,000 to-500,000 seeds and … (34 comments)

glacier view meadows subdivision: Mountain Land in Glacier View Meadows, Colorado - It's time to wake up and smell the coffee! - 01/26/11 02:51 PM
It's time to wake up and smell the coffee and tell you about an awesome piece of land in Glacier View Meadows.
This morning, I stumbled out of bed, started the coffee and turned on the computer.
This is the way I read the email: "Twin Pillars Doctor has been added to Trulia" ...huh?
IT'S MY LISTING ON TWIN PILLARS DRIVE ! ( It's Drive not Doctor, sleepyhead! Go get a cup of coffee!)

glacier view meadows subdivision: Keep an Open Mind when searching for Colorado Mountain Property - 01/15/11 11:17 AM
When our little girl was about 4 she told her preschool teachers that she was allergic to broccoli. Of course she wasn't REALLY allergic; she just didn't want to try it. Later, when she tried it, she discovered that she liked it!
Human beings, little ones and grown up ones, believe we already know what we want or like,
but I find it interesting that when we approach something with an open-mind, very often we change our little I'm- allergic-to broccoli-minds and embrace the broccoli!
I was talking to man from out-of state recently that came to Red Feather to start … (29 comments)

glacier view meadows subdivision: You can talk about moving to the mountains 'till the cows come home - 09/27/10 09:53 PM
~
You can talk about moving to the mountains until the cows come home....
The aspen are turning a beautiful shade of gold and the ranchers are moving their cattle from the summer high pasture down the road back home.
Yesterday morning I saw only one driver trying to make his way past the bovine traffic jam(sometimes they cause a small slow down in your morning commute)
but look at it this way,
it's the only reason for a traffic jam and it only happens twice a year.
You can talk about getting out of your city traffic … (48 comments)

glacier view meadows subdivision: Ask Carnac: About Mountain Cabins in Red Feather Lakes CO. - 06/15/10 10:06 AM
I noticed the Linked-In profile for our Manager of Glacier View Meadows, in my Google Alerts. The profile says he is "the knower of all things in the mountains in Glacier View Meadows."
This might be true!
I have called the Glacier View office many times and Steve, the Manager and Mary always have the answers I seek.
His profile statement made me smile and oddly it reminded me of Johnny Carson's Carnac the Magnificent.
Carnac would give the answer before the question was ever asked.
As a Real Estate Agent working with buyers, I try to do the same; I … (31 comments)

Statistics show that June, July, August and September are the months with the highest number of sales for cabins and land in the Red Feather Lakes/Livermore area.
Even in an Un-BEAR-ably slow vacant land market....
I have One vacant land closing down, and One more to go!
My listing on Sheep Mountain Court, in Glacier View Meadows Subdivision closed at asking price last Wednesday!!
My buyer's closing on Lone Pine Drive, in Crystal Lakes Subdivision will be later this week.
Is this a sign that the market is turning and vacant land is beginning to move again?
With only 4 sales pending out … (33 comments)

glacier view meadows subdivision: Local Glacier View Meadows Agent is just a stone's throw away - 04/25/10 01:10 PM
The vacant house "next door" is for sale, a beautiful 4 bedroom cedar sided 3888 sq. foot home. I still think of it as my old neighbor's home, but I don't know the current owners, who are flipping it, at all.
Yesterday evening, when I was driving by I noticed a truck parked in back of the house on our road. There was a gentleman sitting in the passenger seat of the truck and we waved as I drove by.
I parked my car at home, but the little Realtor voice inside my head said, "You should go back up there … (37 comments)

glacier view meadows subdivision: It's Nine Below Zero in Glacier View Meadows Subdivision - 12/08/09 08:22 PM
It's Nine Below Zero in Glacier View Meadows Subdivision
The temperature is 9 below zero on this cold December evening. I'm thinking about the Battersons, a pioneer family in this area, and the hardship, loss and success they found here. I pass the Batterson Barn and the little grave, one on each side of the county road, and can only imagine the courage and the mettle they possessed.
In 1873, Solomon and Mary Batterson were heading west to California, along with their 3 children, Billy, Mina, and Azubah Emma.
They drove 2 wagon teams and 8 head of … (60 comments)

glacier view meadows subdivision: “Just another beautiful day in Glacier View Meadows, near Red Feather Lakes, CO.” - 11/27/09 07:25 PM
All around the Red Feather Lakes area, there are huge rock outcroppings. Geologists might be able to explain how they got here, or what natural pre-historic event caused them; I'm not a geologist, so I don't know. Still, no matter where I go I am always amazed by them and how many there are. They are everywhere!
No lawn mowing required here:
Today, I was on a mission to take more inside photos of a house for an out of state buyer. I was happy to do it for them, because there is always something beautiful to see in Glacier … (48 comments)

glacier view meadows subdivision: But we live in Colorado- it snows here. - 11/01/09 01:00 PM
I'm always amazed by the weather reports and TV sensationalism surrounding a snow storm.
One of my associates and I were just talking about that yesterday - you'd think it never snowed here before! Last week, schools were closed, roads were closed, county offices and several businesses- closed.
Yes, it's probably wise to close the schools and stay off the road, winter driving can be dangerous. Still, I don't remember one snow day when I was growing up. No, we didn't walk 10 miles to school, barefoot and uphill both ways - but we went to school!
There was no such … (60 comments)
