Carmel color oil, bubbles on dipstick, oil seems over filled when it shouldnt be....
would this be signs of a blown head gasket? Cracked Head? Is there a low cost option of determining what the problem is?
If it is head gasket what is the running rate to repair it, maybe its not worth it...? :-(

bad news but youve blown a head gasket. if youve driven on it long then you might have at least a warped head

Re: would the head only warp if it is overheating?
it could. i wouldnt drive it and would take it down to a local shop unless youre mechanical. have them do a pressure test on each cylinder. if it doesnt hold, youre in for some work.

how like brown is light brown?
if its like chocolate milk, you could be in trouble. if its only a few shades lighter than normal, it could be okay. also, when did you check it? if it was right after you drove it, itll be bubbly because the crank was spinning and frothing the oil up.
