Sept 4: a Mule Dear Doe at the creek in the am.
Sept 5: Running up the forest service road as I came in. A rabbit!
My camera decided to play dead so no photos.
I have build a nice little rock wine cooler that catches some runoff from one of the springs on it's way to the creek. Works very well! I am using an el-screw-top-o wine bottle. So far nothing has gotten into it.
So far I am very seriously considering getting a used shipping container and starting with that for camp storage / shelter. A 40' insulated variety. Add a 9' exterior garage door to one side, put sliding glass doors behind that and an 8' X 16' (or so) deck in front. One of the local contractor types and I beat around and both are of the same opinion that the place to put it is in a ways, not too close to the forest service road but well within hearing of the creek.
He suggested clearing out a lot of underbrush and I said NO WAY. It would grow back up in a nano second and I don't want to build myself any gardening jobs. I'll improve some of the dear trails with a pr of pruning sheers and that's about it. If I end up spending a lot of time here, as in a whole growing season, I might put in a veggie patch where the campground now sits. Other than that, it is wilderness and that works for me. Wild roses, huckleberry, grease wood,elderberry, pine, fir, cotton wood, alder and about a zillion other things (I need a book) that have been happily providing beautiful landscape for a long time and are good at it! Leave it be!!!
