Foto Friday... Just Another Day on The Road

Real Estate Agent with Cedaredge Land Company

Foto Friday... Just Another Day on The Road. Yesterday afternoon was a working day, on the road, for me. I had property checks and BPOs to do. It was a beautiful day following our recent snow storm. I thought I would share some pictures.

I work in two extremely rural counties. These pictures were all taken in Delta County. Delta County has a population of less than 32,000 people and covers over 1100 square miles. The county's slogan is...Canyons, Rivers, Mountains. Delta County truly has it all.

On any given day, it's easy for me to travel over 100 miles, but I don't mind when I have some good music to listen to, and scenery like this.

Here's one of our rivers the day after the snowstorm.

Here's the bridge over the river. It's an oldie but a goodie. This road is called Black Bridge Road.

I'm almost home now. My house is on a mesa that is just on the left just outside of the frame of this picture.  

 

I've lived on Colorado's Western Slope for over 22 years. I love this area and all it has to offer, and I enjoy sharing what I know about my home. As a real estate broker, I also love to share my expertise in this area as well. If you need any real estate information for Montrose County, or Delta County, Colorado...please give me a call.

Debbie, I see why they call it Delta County. How long is your drive into town and do you go every day? I live 5 minutes from my office and I'm spoiled.

I see why you live there.  It is gorgeous.  And, I would love living on a mesa.  Delta County should be proud to have Debbie Laity, Realtor Extraordinaire.  Have a good one, Debbie!

Hi, Debbie...I don't have to drive too far, but I do have to climb down off the mesa upon which I live. That hill can be dangerous in the snow. One time the snowplow slide off the hill. I was on the hill when that happened. That's one of the biggest reasons I drive a Subaru. They are really built for the snow and handle well in slippery conditions. Good weather driving to town, and the office, takes just less than 15 minutes.

Hi, Ron...It is pretty here. I get to see those mountains from my house. I love it. I never get tired of the scenery and never take it for granted. Thanks.

It's easy to put that many or miles on my car in a day too.  Just driving from listing to listing.  My lake has 417 miles of shoreline and borders 3 rural counties.  Sometimes I drive by miles and miles of pasture and cows.  I think you have prettier views out your car window though.

Debbie those are beautiful pictures, our inch of snow got washed away by a flood of rain and 55 today. no sign or winter in New England. Speaking of BPOs I was flooded this week with new BPO's. I did about 30 this week and could have done 60 if i had time. The banks rewarded me with 2 new listings this week so it was well worth it.

Thanks for the photos. I certainly understand driving to show property. We have a bunch of small counties that are lightly populated and high mileage days are common.

Hi Debbie,

All of your photos are great but I like the river photo the best with the snow sitting on top of the round rocks. Thanks for sharing and Happy Holidays.
