Hall's Ridge

All of Breitenbush's phone and internet communications must travel through 

air and some repeaters before connecting to land lines. One of the repeaters 

is on Hall's Ridge which we share with other companies in the area.

Salman Spawning

Salmon were released into the river again this year by the 

Oregon Fish and Wildlife Dept. and they were visible from the bridge

Grouse in the Woods

I saw a group of five grouse today 

Can you see the 3 well-camouflaged
grouse in the two photos below?

A Good Rain

We got a fair amount of rain last night which will reduce the dust on 

our roads but more importantly reduce the risk of fires around us

Smoke Didn't Last

Yesterday was our first day of smoky air this summer

 

 Fortunately canyon winds cleared the air this morning

Horsetail "Forest"

I don't ever remember the horsetails near my cabin 

growing as thick or as tall (almost 4 1/2 feet) as this year.
