Winter in Moose

Snow formations in the creek
Just a couple pictures from the last month or so.  We have had pretty consistent snow since the New Year began.   It got deep enough that I began skiing and snowshoeing in the creek, rather than the flats.  All that changed this morning.  We had a icky wet week, with above freezing temps.  But last night it dropped to 25 and the blank fields of snow are now crusted and easy to ski (or run if you are Sunshine). Lyle is busy moving snow and getting ready to put new wood floors down in the living area of the West Cabin.  The basement in the Log Cabin is nearing the painting stage!

Pretty nice view from the mailbox!

I did shovel this window out last week, and the roof slid the next day and we were buried again.  Luckily this is the worst spot, the rest of the windows are still mostly clear. The best way to enjoy the views is from a set of skis or snowshoes, so I won't worry too much about my bedroom view.

Summer 2019

After a long winter and another epic February we have made it to Summer at last!  Spring lasted into mid to late June, keeping the air temperatures cool and the days wet.  We woke up to 3 inches of new snow on our tipis June 9th! I guess we should be pleased for the moisture, everything is still very green and beautiful as we make our way through the second half of July. It is great to have both girls home for the summer. Both will go to College in late August, so we are trying to play as much as we can before they leave and summer ends. It has gotten us in the park a lot already. It can get crowded, but the same rule seems to apply.  If you start before 9:30 and get away from parking lots and roads, it is much quieter. What a gift to have so much beautiful terrain and amazing wildlife just steps from the cabins! We are working on a new website with more pictures and have a new video to share. Check it out!

Today when I took the pups for a walk I thought I could feel the valley breathe a sigh of relief.  September is here and the frenzy of summer is over for another year.  What a great summer it was though! I admit to looking forward to the Fall just around the corner while enjoying the beautiful weather we are having now!  The West Cabin is available for rent the month of October this year.  Let us know if you are interested!

The Eclipse!

Image
What a stunning event!  We are so lucky to live here and then to have a total eclipse!  I am also lucky because I continue to avoid thoughts and beliefs set in concrete.       Like many I originally succumbed to the worry that the number of people and possible problems were going to be a real pain. But in talking with friends the “grumpy old man attitude” didn’t feel right.    Fortunately,   I started thinking about who was coming instead of how many.  I realized that they would tend to be well educated, they would be making a meaningful effort to come to a science infused experience, and had to plan prior to the event.  I came around to the fact that “These are my people”. When an Idaho friend mentioned there would be a hippie element involved that just made me repeat “These are my people”!       As No Trespassing signs were going up elsewhere, I mowed an area adjacent to Antelope...
