Fly'n B Historic Park Underway in Highlands Ranch! June 1, 2009 - 05/31/09 07:23 PM
 
Highlands Ranch will soon be home to a new historic park, Fly’n B Park.  This park will encompass 37 acres that were once part of the 140 acre cattle ranch of Johnny Bowen which he called “the best little cattle ranch in Colorado.”  
The area which is in the northeastern corner of Highlands Ranch off Plaza Dr., is currently being transformed.  The park will have a theme of water, its history, imprortance and benefit.  Highline Canal, dating back to the 19th century, travels through what will be the park and there are numerous ponds in the area.

A Bear in My Neighborhood - 05/20/09 10:23 PM
I have written before about the abundance of wildlife in this cool place we call Highlands Ranch.  I have also written before about how important it is to be cautious in sharing this cool place with those animals. 
On that note, we had an unusual visitor in Highlands Ranch this week, a young female bear.  I can't ever remember hearing a report of a bear actually in the heart of Highlands Ranch.  I have only heard of bear sightings in the areas much more open to the south of Highlands Ranch.  This young lady was definitely in the heart of Highlands … (0 comments)

Chatfield Basin and It's Surprises - 05/01/09 10:17 PM
About 7 or 8 miles down C-470 from my house is a wonderful little reservoir named Chatfield.  In the summer it's a great place for summer activities like swimming, boating, picnicking, camping and fishing.  It was created as a flood control measure on the South Platte River and the water height varies extremely depending on the amount of precipitation or drought the area is currently experiencing. 
I recently began to learn much more about the Chatfield Basin in which this reservoir is located.  It is an expansive area that takes in part of Highlands Ranch, the area along both sides of … (0 comments)
