Meet MacGregor Jane

MacGregor Ranch XIX is a half mile from Gilded Pine Meadows B&B

Today we went to MacGregor Ranch XIX which is a half mile from Gilded Pine Meadows B&B. Clicking this photo will take you to the ranches website. In the summer months the ranch opens their authentic cabin museum for tours.

This is MacGregor Jane. She'll hook you up with organic, black Angus beef. Jane is the Ranch's office manager and wears several hats...all at once. She's standing in her, not so humble, corner office with a window-view of Rocky Mountain's Longs Peak.

Jane is a one of Estes Park's friendly locals whom we find to have a colorful personality. So, when Jane landed this envies position with the Historic MacGregor Ranch Eric and I decided we needed to go check out her new digs. Photo of Eric and Jane posing for me in Jane's office.

Jane and Eric talking about MacGregor Ranchs' spooky and interesting history going back to 1875. Some stuff is creepy, but for the most part the ranches rich history tells the story of the American cowboy who done-good. Most important is the amazing contribution the MacGregors made to this area.

The MacGregor family continues to make marvelous contributions to the Estes Park area's school children and our mountain community.

This is MacGregor Jane's office. In the back ground is just a small sample of BlackCanyon and Lumpy Ridge which serves as the majestic back drop for the ranch.

Eric in our car as we began to leave the ranch. The sign to the right shows that it's just another 1/2 a mile to the lumpy Ridge trail head. From Lumpy Ridge you can gain acces to several beautiful day hikes which offer gorgious views of the valley and continential divide.

The Twin Owls trail head (just one trail out of many) closes each year for the sake of the raptors which live in the large rock outcropping. Clicking this photo will take you to a website which shows photos of raptors.

Happy Holidays

Eric & Caprissa Frawley, along with our sweet Maggie, wish you a Merry Christmas and a joyful 2008.

Many have asked about Maggie’s current health. She had another vestibular incident in October. Her recovery was about 4 to 6 weeks. We did not take her to the vet, nor did we drug her. We hand fed her, helped her walk to keep her strong. She lost much of her sight during her recovery time. She’s back to herself…just a little less study on her feet, and a little less tolerant of photo ops, (as you can see). Her eye sight came back partially–if not most of it. She can get around well in areas she is familiar with, including our five acres. We had to chase her down several times for this picture.
