for the use of the lot owners and their guests. 

 

 

WARNING!

Heavy snow + high winds =

HIGH DRIFTS

4-wheel drive is necessary; not fool proof.


Heavy snow melt =

SLOPPY ROAD CONDITIONS

4-wheel drive is necessary; definitely not fool proof.

Travel at Dusk and Dawn is risky.
Travel in the
dark hours is risky-er.

Always be prepared.

Always.

ROADS

 The Blue Hills Ranch Subdivision ROADS are the Association's responsibility.  To describe them as challenging is an understatement.

There are approximately 10 miles of road within the subdivision.  The roads were deeded to the BHRLOA Members.  Easements, width and setback requirements are dictated in the BHRLOA Community Documents
All culvert installation, clearing, tree trimming, tree removal, rock removal and organizing is done by volunteer Members.


The BHR Subdivision can expect the roads to be graded a minimum of once per year and a maximum of twice per year.  

Directors have discretion to make emergency decisions to ensure ingress and egress.
