Pretty Picture Monday

Paul Bunyon Bonfires

Thursday of last week, we met with the loggers to burn the slash

piles left from the logging, on the new mountain property.

Three of our workers came to help, it took all day.

Nine piles in all, it wasn't as scary as I thought it would be,

but sure glad it's done.  Can't wait till spring, to see what 

it looks like after setting through a winter.

Paul Bonyon would be proud.

Pretty Picture Monday

Sunday Stills, Winter Pics

"IT'S HOT"  Ed at Sunday Stills, challenged us to fine some old

winter pics from our archive, to cool off.

The first one is of our cabin and the second is looking at the lake,

 the winter before last.   We got 22 feet of snow that winter 

before it was all over.  Last year we maybe got 5 feet.

Don't forget to make the rounds over at Sunday Stills

 and see all the ......... COOL PICS !!!

Redneck Fourth Of July

Saturday La Porte hosted it's annual July 4th celebration.

This little town of "26" had a population boom of about 2,400.

Every town resident , cabin owner and camper in a 30 mile 

radius came to enjoy the day.

There's something for everyone, bakes sales, crafts, dog show,

cold drinks and food.  Or stop in at Riley's Bar for a cold one,

standing room only.

The main event is the parade on main street.

It's a mix of rednecks, bikers, flatlanders and mountain folk, 

just having a good time.

And if you missed something, it will come back around.

The parade make three loops around town and I do 

mean around the town before it's done.
