Rancho Morales Update

Rancho Morales Update

Raquel and I have spent the last 4 weekends planning and overseeing the driveway placement and construction on our property in Westcliffe, CO; and it has been very rewarding. The driveway ended up being almost a mile long and it really brings out the character of the property. The driveway was planned to pass by the two creeks and pond on up to the first potential building site. We were out there on Memorial day working with Shane (Excavating Contractor),building up the entrance to the property with some of the big rocks that were dug up during the driveway construction. Here are a few pictures from the day.

The cut into the steep hill onto the property (much easier than walking)

The last stretch going up to first potential building site. Rough road, still in work.

This has been a very exciting project, thanks for letting us share it with you. Now it will be much easier getting onto the property, to enjoy the serenity, creeks and pond, whispering trees, wildlife, rock formations, and the wonderful views.

Hasta luego,

Joe & Raquel
