One of the Best "Family" Parks in El Dorado County

03-30-08

A leisurely 20 minute drive from hwy50 and Missouri Flat road will get you to Pioneer Park. This 21 acre park has something for every member of the family. And one of the things I like the most is that; it is far enough out of town that never seems to be "crowded" and close enough in so it does not have to be a "day" trip. It truly is in my opinion a "community" Park. Located in Somerset it offers;

Equestrian Arena - should you want to bring your horse.

Basketball Court - Full court and fenced

Frisbee (disc) Golf

Playground (kids slides etc.)

Baseball Diamond

Softball Diamond

Covered Gazebo

Several BBQ grills

Large Grass area for Soccer

My Family loves going there (and so do I)

Here is more info on the park http://www.co.el-dorado.ca.us/parks/pioneer.html

Good Schools Help Property Owners

03-28-08
Brian Creel

While News of falling home values seems to dominate the market, there are pockets of real estate that have seen home prices holding steady. In an interesting study from Truila, Inc. one factor seems to stand out - highly rated local elementary schools. The analysis of 2 million homes found cities and suburbs with highly-rated schools saw their property value perform significantly better than nearby cities with poor-performing schools.

Here are all the vids from yesterdays fun

I am still having some trouble uploading these videos. I was hoping active rain would let me load directly to my blog, but it appears I must convert it to HTML at some other site before posting here. If anybody knows of an easier way to do this I would much appreciate the help.
