Duchess & Sadie's Mtn Dogs

Sadie and I continue our walking in the mountains again this week. This time we caught a glimpse of this small waterfall running into Vallecito Creek and the northend of the campgrounds in the San Juan National Forests.

Also, Tuesday and Wednesday of this week we caught some video of the taken down of one sick, 150 year-old ponderosa pine that measured between 95 to 100 feet tall and over two and half feet in diameter at the base. The west side of the root system had rotted out, causing the old pine to leaning precariously toward the East. What root system it still had was causing the concrete floor of the garage to buckle and crack.

NW Okie and her youngest son, Robert, have put some videos up at our "OkieLegacy YouTube" pages. If you venture over to Flickr.com (located under Colorado Lumberjacks sets).

Last week we mentioned the WWII bombing of Boise City, Oklahoma. Jim Barker commented on our Boise City accidental bombing and says, "Linda, I used to live at Elkhart, Kansas not too far up the road from Boise City. I have read several accounts of this that are pretty much in agreement with this article. I would add that the most humorous thing I read was that the commander at the air base from which this plane came posted the following notice on the camp bulletin board: Remember the Alamo! Remember the Maine! And for God's sake, don't forget Boise City!"

Hope all you Fathers out there had a terrific Fathers Day yesterday, Sunday, June 20, 2010!

Goog Night and Good Luck!   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
