              Wrong Turn, Turns into fun. My daughter, her friend and our two grandchildren were supposed to come by my office; from there we were going to the Craft Fair at the Greening of Red Feather. (Grandpa was going to stay home, watch the dogs and the football game).   I waited and waited for them to come and then the call came. They were stuck in the snow on Kinnikinnik! I left the office to go find them, and see if my car could push them out. There are few paved roads in the Village of Red Feather. Kinnikinnik is an unpaved, residential road, not even close to my office, or Main Street.  You can see Main Street from Kinnikinnik - but that really isn't helpful when your city car Mazda is up to your "you-know- what"  in snow!  HOW did you get here, I asked them?  Oh, they used th... 12/11/2008

How did Red Feather Lakes get its name? The story as I remember reading it goes something like this: In the late 1920's, the area that is now known as Red Feather Lakes, was designated as wetlands.  Smart developers who saw the beauty all around them decided to make Red Feather Lakes a resort area. They began digging a series of ditches, and lakes.  Jake Mitchell had first diverted water from Upper North Pine in 1888 to what is now Hiawatha Lake. This small town was sparsely inhabited with hard working, industrious and visionary mountain folks.  There was a general store, a Hotel was built, and the beautiful lakes were taking shape. The lakes were named after one of the developers; Mitchell 1, Mitchell 2...  It's not clear whether Mitchell or someone else went to a show or if one day, a... 12/10/2008

Effective January 1, 2009, The Division of Water Resources must receive a well transfer form for all small capacity wells or domestic exempt wells that are sold (or transferred) in any real estate transaction. All transferred water rights need to be reported, except those water rights represented by stock in a ditch company. House Bill 08-1014 was passed by the Colorado General Assembly and signed into law by Governor Ritter and will assist the Division in more accurate recordkeeping  regarding well ownership.  Current information is necessary for the State to notify well owners of any health, safety, water right or stewardship issues pertaining to their ground water well.  The new Residential Real Estate Contract requires the Buyer to complete a Change in Ownership Form for the well an... 12/09/2008

For generations, the Historic Pot Belly Deli and Bar has been a favorite with locals and tourists alike. The little pot belly stove was an original caboose stove from a Union Pacific caboose, and the huge stone fireplace in the back dining room helps create that warm ambiance for group get togethers. A great place to meet your friends and play a game of pool, get a good meal, or sit out on the deck and enjoy the wonderful mountain views.  A popular watering hole, the bar features state of the art sound system, two flat screen TVs, pool tables and darts. Sit down at the bar with 28 of your (new) friends! 'Lots to wet your whistle at the bar - with 240 brands of hard alcohol, bottled domestics beers and 8 beer taps. Everyone knows where to meet on Saturday night for Karaoke! We love our P... 11/23/2008
