Hall's Ridge

All of Breitenbush's phone and internet communications

Ridge which we share with other companies in the area.

Grouse in the Woods

Today I saw a group of five grouse  

Can you see the 3 well-camouflaged

We got a fair amount of rain last night which

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 housetails

near my cabin growing as thick or as

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