Recent paving work by Las Animas county on CR 44.0 has brought a paved road to within
3/4s a mile from my western gates on Bear Claw Pass.
I've installed about 2/3rd a mile of electric lines going from the western gates up to the
high meadow in the southeastern quadrant, where my cabin is. There is a pole with a transformer
within about 100' of the cabin and service pole within about 30' of the cabin, for a meter.
