Dena, every time I read one of your posts I am more determined to come out and visit your beautiful part of this earth I have never seen!!  It is difficult for me to imagine the homes that sell for such a low price with such beautiful views, I can't imagine why anyone would ever think of leaving! 

Carole, come on over! I'm a great tour guide. Seriously!

Ok. I'll bite.  Why is it Fireman's Bluff?  Do all the firement live their? Are there more dalmation dogs than in an average neighborhood?

Dena - I didn't realize you were in the Canon City area! My grandparents lived there for many years- my grandfather was the history teacher at the hight school after he retired from the military. It really is beautiful country. My mom was there last weekend visiting a friend and she commented on how nice some of the newer developments are - can't wait to get down there myself for a peek!

Dena, another great picture of a beautiful view!!!!

OK, now for the important stuff, what is the answer to Chris's question, why is it called Fireman's Bluff? 

Chrissy - come on down!

George and Chris E- I'd love to tell you some romantic story about how this neighborhood is at a high point and the firemen use to watch for fires from here. But the truth is that a retired fireman developed the area. Oh, and there are Dalmatians running around all over!
