It is 5:00 o’clock am on Saturday morning and I can hear the
rustling of the trees as the wind gusts pass through them. There is a light rain coming down at the
moment. According to the weatherman we
have a pending storm moving in on us today with high wind and rain. If this weather pattern continues across the
state we will likely be looking at increases in the size of the current fires
that are eating up the eastern half of our beautiful home. While rains can help fight the fires, high
winds only excite the blazes. While we
need rain due to the drought across the state, it might not be a good thing if
it comes with the predicted winds.
Mia and I have been living in our travel trailer most of
this year both on our trip and since we got back. We have had some discussions about the
travel trailer and we have both come to the conclusion that we probably won’t
travel with the trailer anymore. We had
to try the RV lifestyle but it isn’t for us from this point on. In fact, yesterday I put an ad on Craig’s List
for the trailer and the membership at Gold Bar Nature Trails. We are going to sell the travel trailer.
That being said, we still like to come up to Gold Bar and
spend time enjoying nature and relaxing with friends. To that end we discovered a park model unit
for sale on a different membership lot and we are now in the process of
purchasing that unit. It has much more
living space and we can still come up and enjoy our family, friends, the vast
wilderness and the facilities.
Our grandson Zach is coming up to spend a couple of days
with us. We will likely feed him and he
will be off to take his hikes. We won’t
get to see much of him but I hope we have time to make some plans for a trip to
Montana later next month. He and I will
drive over and spend three days in Glacier National Park. He has a couple of hikes planned and wants to
do some fishing. I want to go back to Polebridge
for some Huckleberry Bear Claws while he is out climbing.
There have been no other developments recently. Other than the stock market sliding we
consider ourselves pretty lucky.
Hope all is well and thanks for stopping by.
