Red Feather Lakes Colorado

Sunday July 3, 2011

We headed off to our final destination, Red Feather Lakes. Red Feather Lakes is a small mountain community surrounded by the Roosevelt National Forest just west and north of Ft. Collins. Dad has a very good friend named Idalynn who generously let us use a house she owns in the area. After a quick stop at Subway for lunch and Walmart in Ft. Collins for supplies, we arrived.

The house was great. Two bedrooms, two bathrooms, an upstairs, washer and dryer and full kitchen all on 8 acres of pasture and horse property. The best parts are the views of the mountains, the great cool weather and the quiet. I met Idalynn a couple of months before this trip and knew she was nice but boy howdy, she was so nice to let us stay in such a great place!

How great is Idalynn to let us stay here? Wow!

Side of the house

All set up for horses. I just loved running around in there.

The chicken coop is big enough to rent out as a room for a guest.

The porch was one of my favorite places to hang out.

The view from the upstairs porch was great. Dad and I hung out up there too.

Dad enjoyed the porch too!

If I had a penny for every time I went up and down the porch stairs to go investigate the pasture

Mom and Dad bought the little dinning table, chairs and a lamp at Goodwill. It looks great and only $30 total.

Stella from Lone Pine Realty calls and has found a couch someone is trying to donate, so she brings it over. A queen sleeper. The place is looking quite homey.

Dad and I came home from Lost Lake one day to find the yard covered with hail

The post office where Mom and Dad picked up mail addressed to General Delivery.

Mom and Dad spent several afternoons here in this great little community library. They had WIFI so they could get computer work done. The people working there were really nice.
