It seemed odd to me to have all those fruit trees growing amidst all of the rock formations- something I'm not used to seeing. Glad you got to get some good fruit.

I attended a one-room school for 1st-3rd grade and when we started busing to public school it was 40 miles one-way - the setting was not nearly as lovely though. I couldn't have gotten out of that store with just dessert - love handmade and hand-stitched. Cougar is one of my totems so I'm especially glad to see they have such a large protected area there. Looking forward to seeing more of this spectacular location :-))) Oh! - those cottonwoods (also a favorite) are huge!!!Jodee Gravelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02247098923871155546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-28275180581496592302014-09-09T01:59:43.454-04:002014-09-09T01:59:43.454-04:00Don't let David eat up all of the peaches.

Cute fawns, surprised they still have their spots. A 6 year old boy got attacked by a mountain lion this weekend up at one of the county parks near here. Came away with scratches and bites, but is ok none the less. They are beautiful creatures, but still very dangerous.owensontheroadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12076915620668491771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-34384044591016761272014-09-08T22:54:17.496-04:002014-09-08T22:54:17.496-04:00Gorgeous view from your patio indeed! ohhhh deer ...Gorgeous view from your patio indeed! ohhhh deer in your front yard!

Caution needs to be exercised during time of predicted rain as there is a creek and heavy run off (translated flash flood!) There is also boondocking just west of the park that would work better for your beast just as you leave the park on the north.... you can see it off the main road after you leave. Lots of great hiking in the park....we were there when the fruit you are eating was blooming!!!
