Moffat, Colorado

Willow Spring Bed & Breakfast

Moffat is one of those towns on the east side of the San Luis Valley that used to be an agricultural center, but saw most of that business move west after the federal government built a water diversion system to carry water from the north half of the San Luis Valley across the central divide and into the lower Rio Grande (the US lost a water suit with Mexico and had to make up the shortfall somehow, and they wouldn't take back the water rights already being used by farmers in the Rio Grande drainage - this is actually a very long story with lots of complications and is still causing problems down south).

As usual, I didn't take photos of the new stuff, just the historic stuff. Moffat seems like a quiet little town in the heart of the San Luis Valley, meaning that it's easy to get from here to the mountains, forests and other wilderness adventure stuff that really attracts people like me...
