An Early Snow

Yesterday we got out
first snow of the winter

Fall Is Here Again

This morning was the first day of ice on the bridge

Still Here, Still Green, Still Magical

After 3 weeks of being away and fires getting ever closer, rain finally came. It was great to come back to see everything looking so green and wet. We reopen on 9/25.
 

A Deserted Breitenbush

Yesterday most of the staff evacuated Breitenbush

after we decided to close for a couple of weeks

due to smokey air from nearby fires

The Big Eclipse

Our valley was covered in fire
smoke so I went to the ridge line
above it to see view the eclipse

Here's the video of the eclipse.

It didn't get as dark as I hoped.
