Life

The rebuilt tree looks good. Thanks Dalton. The grills not so good.

You get up early enough and you get to see the sun as it hits the cliffs on the far side of the valley and works it's way across the river and towards the property.

Kobae

Kobae continues his daily assault on the bush he doesn't like. Over the years I think he's winning. Then he comes to the porch and assaults romaine, cucumbers, green peppers, and carrots to the tune of $125 or so a week.

We Mourn

The disc golf community lost two good friends this week. John Todhunter lost his long battle with cancer. Craig Myrick lost his battle with diabetes. They are both tremendously missed.

Dalton

Guests staying at the hogans came over to watch the feeding Thursday night. I showed Dalton what happened to my man created tree that was made so the birds can watch for the hawks. He looks at it and says. "You want me to re-build it for you? I have all my tools in the truck." So the next day before Dalton and his family check out he comes over and an hour later all the branches are back, the tree is upright and packed with birds.

Unbelievable. Thank you Dalton.

The Storm

I've shown you the damage the storm did right out front of the lodge.

Jax and I hiked the property expecting to see some of the disc golf baskets down but they were all up. However two of the turf tees had been relocated.

Got the grills turned back up but they have significant damage and will need a pretty good cleaning before even attempting to start them.

Got the branches cleaned up and taken to the gravel pit. Can't burn anything as there is a fire ban across most of the state.

In the evenings I use scissors to open the hot dog packages when feeding the critters. You can see where they were sitting on the counter when the storm hit.

It's Raining Somewhere

The river is red for the 4th day in a row so somewhere up river it's raining every day. Beach vegetation is doing well.

Base Camp Sign

Guests checking in miss the Base Camp sign to turn off. Jax and I go out to see why. It's because it isn't standing up anymore. It's very heavy. Not sure how I'm going to get that fixed.
