Thanks for all the concern for us during
the recent hail and tornado in Windsor, CO where our main home is located. We really appreciate all who contacted us
and and took time to be mindful of this tragedy in Jane's home town. The town is cleaning up now and amazing progress
was made in a few days. Of approximately 500 severely damaged homes, 100 were completely destroyed. Our home is
located several blocks west of where the edge of the storm swept through, so we had only hail damage.

her at jmswas@comcast.net and you can also sign up to receive the newsletter at the bottom of our
"Contact Us" page. We do not sell your names or email addresses EVER.
SKI SEASON: Wolf Creek Ski Area received above average snow, 500" as
of Saint Patrick's Day . They plan to be open with regular hours until Mid-April and then open on weekends after that
for two more weeks. The tourist season was in full swing last Summer, and visitors to the new Sand Dunes National Park have
shown a big increase. Land sales volumes are
up sharply and prices are going up. A new tourist train trip is available from Alamosa to La Veta, with the tracks going right by our ULazyU, San Luis Valley Ranches Lots,
the little towns of Blanca and Fort Garland, then through the Sangre De Cristo Ranches Area, the Forbes Park Gated Community
and the Forbes Wagon Creek Area to La Veta. After lunch in La Veta, the train returns the passengers back to Alamosa.
Jane put a link to the reservation page and on our LINKS page. You can get a reservation there and see the prices and
times.
The new construction at the Blanca-Fort Garland
Community Center is finished . The locals call the Community Center the "Country Club". The facility
has a 25 meter solar heated pool, a hot tub, dry sauna and shower facilities. The new facility offers exercise equiment
and a running track. Admission is $1.50 per trip, or $25/year. The
Sangre de Cristo area has 400 miles of roads - some of them at 12,000 ft. elevation. In the spring, summer, and fall
all of these roads are open and in good shape- perfect for mountain bikes and ATV's. We
bought a shed and a ATV and have been roaming the dirt roads in the SDCR Area. According to our Sheriff (Costilla County)
we can roam these 400 miles with "off road" ATV's without getting a ticket. *******
