Burning Mountains in July


The view from the front porch.


I always said: "some day those irresponsible waste of beings, the dregs of society, we are forced to tolerate in our mountain communities will burn dow these mountains." Well.....here is the day.


We have a couple more hills between the flames and the valley.


Luckily, the wind is blowing west to east (left to right) instead of towards our neighborhood.

Snowy Mountains in June


On the way to another solar field job.
At the lookout point to Burney Falls north east of Redding, CA.



Buck in the LDS church parking lot in Fall River Mills.
It's not that we are the first to arrive for the preaching;
we are testing the farm field behind the church.
 
Mount Shasta in the back.
We are surrounded by snowy mountains.


The office

One of the logging plants in the area.


Mission is accomplished.
Time to visit all the Tractor Supply stores on the way home.


Looking down to the logging mill.
Beautiful operation!
If I were born again, I'd be a logger again but have a mill like this.
It was a nice change to have snow covered mountains around. We are usually in the middle of the blazing hot desert while solar fielding. North central CA is beautiful.

"Food glorious food, hot sausage and mustard..."


Moved out:
The saddest thing in life is: empty pantry.


Moved in:
Can we find all the food now, please?
