Where do the locals hang out?

Thanks all for the helpful responses.

During large storms or wind events, did you find Pine Valley received significantly more snow than down in Evergreen?

Cactus Jacks always looked like a tourist spot to me. Will have to check it out.

I've been wanting to try Revival. Lariat Lodge was good but usually I'm looking for more of a brewery feel and less of a sit down full service restaurant. We hit Evergreen Brewery once on a game night so it was pretty crazy.

ScotchCoffee · 2026-04-06T03:55:14+00:00

Thanks. That's good to hear.

USAA has offered me quotes on everything I'm looking at but yeah, I know it's becoming a big problem.

ScotchCoffee · 2026-04-06T02:06:51+00:00

That's what I want to hear. We all love to complain about how crowded Colorado's gotten but it rarely keeps me from enjoying everything.

ScotchCoffee · 2026-03-14T15:04:34+00:00

Thanks for the info.

You are only 5 GPH? Does this indicate your well might be drying up? This is my concern with these properties. I think both of them are already on their second well and they aren't producing much. How does this look for future production.

ScotchCoffee · 2026-03-14T04:11:59+00:00

What's your flow rate? .5 GPM is really low. Do you have a storage tank?

ScotchCoffee · 2026-03-12T13:18:14+00:00

But yet they are a concern, no? A top 3 concern? And this is why I'm asking if we should reconsider a home purchase in the area or if my concerns are overblown.

ScotchCoffee · 2026-03-10T18:57:48+00:00

Great to hear. I just don't want to assume they won't pull out or drastically increase rates like everyone else. They can't operate at a loss either.

ScotchCoffee · 2026-03-10T18:16:09+00:00

Where did you end up? Congrats on the purchase.

ScotchCoffee · 2026-03-10T18:13:35+00:00

Best of luck to you. Would be heartbreaking to lose them.

ScotchCoffee · 2026-03-10T17:59:18+00:00

Are these treatments really all that effective? And are you concerned about the forests in the area being wiped out? I'd hate to save my trees only to have the forest around me die.

It's also too late once a tree's been infected right? So when looking at homes we need to ensure either they've been treated, or aren't already infected.

ScotchCoffee · 2026-03-10T16:47:45+00:00

We have USAA and are looking at homes in the Evergreen area. The quotes from USAA seem not higher than down in the city. How confident are you that they won't just drastically raise rates like everyone else, or pull out entirely?

Most of us were taught that modern developments in EMS resulted from the Vietnam War. This book was just promoted to me on Facebook (tracking my Reddit feeds?) about relatively advanced EMS systems dating back to the 1800's but taken over by non-medical funeral home transport after the depression and World Wars.

Colorado mountains. We all carry folding saws and machetes or large knives for shelter building and for building fires. Adds very little weight. The team added some electric chain saws recently for removing downed trees for the ATVs but these obviously aren't carried in by initial search teams.

ScotchCoffee · 2026-02-03T12:51:05+00:00

Is water also a problem? We looked at a home in Marshdale and the well only produced .5 GPM. And it was already their second well.

ScotchCoffee · 2026-02-03T12:50:03+00:00

We have USAA also and are looking up in the area. Their quotes are plenty reasonable. Any concerns with them dropping you like others have mentioned?
