Remote with views. What do you have? Photos? Price? Thanks oldmuddyboots http://www.jaspercolorado.com:8080/mvnforum/mvnforum/viewthread?thread=868 2009-06-16T20:36:54+0000 2009-06-16T20:36:54+0000 These excellent directions were emailed to me from a friend of Jasper: [b]Driving Directions to Jasper, Colorado from Alamosa, Colorado: [/b] See below if coming from: [b]LaJara, Colorado * Monte Vista, Colorado ** SouthFork***[/b] The purchase of a DeLorme Colorado Atlas and Gazetteer for about $20.00 is a good idea.

Marisa and I were scouring the skies for satellites that might have an NBC broadcast that was clear / open / free. I was very pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to locate and lock all of the free broadcast satellites up there! We locked on: Galaxy 10R / Galaxy 18 Galaxy 13 Galaxy 15 ...

I'm pleased to see that the Argo is trail legal almost everywhere. One very important note that the Cornwall road is NOT designated on this map. I will try to call the Forest Service for clarification on this.

I'm not the best guy to give hunting advice but I can offer a few items. Hunting Elk is quite different than deer and a lot of guys make the same mistakes about this. A lot of people come in with a trailer full of ATVs and no knowledge about the elk herds, locations or movements. You can drive an ATV around the area and kick up deer all ... Larry_Wolcott_Jr http://www.jaspercolorado.com:8080/mvnforum/mvnforum/viewthread?thread=752 2008-05-22T14:24:20+0000 2008-05-23T04:36:12+0000 There have been several recent discussions with great info about the ATV rules and regulations in the Jasper Area. I am starting a separate FAQ section as a matter of making this info more available to the community. Thanks Bill and Kelly for contributing, please add more here I missed anything. First, start with common sense and consider the safety of yourself and others. Also be considerate ... Larry_Wolcott_Jr http://www.jaspercolorado.com:8080/mvnforum/mvnforum/viewthread?thread=738 2008-04-07T10:16:17+0000 2008-04-07T10:16:17+0000 Realtors can be very helpful and often bring a lot of value but are not always required if you already have a property lined up. It is common for people to buy and sell properties in Jasper without using a realtor. Assuming that you are either a buyer or seller with an agreement to buy/sell with another individual, then it's very easy. The typical cost of a transaction will be between $250 and ... Larry_Wolcott_Jr http://www.jaspercolorado.com:8080/mvnforum/mvnforum/viewthread?thread=524 2006-08-09T09:51:39+0000 2008-02-23T08:15:31+0000 A lot of folks not accustomed to life "off the grid" ask the same question. What's the story with electricity? Currently, there is no commercial option for electricity in Jasper. Most of us are grateful that there is not, some would prefer it. The reality is, *when* (not if) commercial power comes to Jasper, the property values will skyrocket. A lot of folks believe that the natural ... Larry_Wolcott_Jr http://www.jaspercolorado.com:8080/mvnforum/mvnforum/viewthread?thread=655 2007-11-14T22:35:36+0000 2008-02-13T19:24:07+0000 Hi Everyone, I dont spend much time watching TV in Jasper so I never bothered to get a commercial subscription to statellite service. However, after reading up on the "Free To Air" aka (FTA) I took an interest in the matter and gave it a try. Using a small 30 inch dish, I have been able to tune the Galaxy 10R satellite from my cabin. This is a popular satellite that broadcasts over ... Larry_Wolcott_Jr http://www.jaspercolorado.com:8080/mvnforum/mvnforum/viewthread?thread=101 2004-02-12T00:00:00+0000 2007-10-11T11:38:16+0000 The weather in Jasper is very mild in the summer, reaching 85 degrees on a sunny day, and then dropping to 60 at night. It's very normal to have a thunderhead roll in and drop some rain for a few minutes in the evenings, then clear up without a trace. Winters tend to be very brisk and there is almost always snow on the ground. It get's below zero at night and low 30's during the day. While it ...

Realtor.com with these criteria city=jasper, zip=81144, land only. ...

Often someone asks me because they are selling, other times they ask because they want to buy. I’m hardly an expert and not very qualified in real estate. At best, I just happen to pay close attention to the property transactions. Here's the problem with "how much is it worth?" in ... Larry_Wolcott_Jr http://www.jaspercolorado.com:8080/mvnforum/mvnforum/viewthread?thread=610 2007-05-21T13:24:49+0000 2007-05-21T13:24:49+0000 This information was provided by Melissa Browning. I'm posting it here in the FAQ section for future reference: ==================================== Okay, apparently it is true that all the Cornwall properties have been assigned a street address. I was able to verify mine through the Road & Bridge Dept. (719)852-4781. If you give them a legal description, they should be able to give ... Larry_Wolcott_Jr http://www.jaspercolorado.com:8080/mvnforum/mvnforum/viewthread?thread=560 2007-01-02T10:16:43+0000 2007-01-09T20:58:32+0000 Folks, More than once now, I've had the pleasure of receiving nasty-grams regarding missing posts. Rest assured that I do not delete anything. This has been caused by the same thing on the last three occasions. READ THIS: The message board chooses which posts show up on the home page. A maximum of 5, usually by most recent posting but not always. I regret that this post has bumped ...

I have researched a little and read what many of you have posted, but I have so many questions. What source of electricity do the majority of Jasper's residents use? Solar? Generators?
