Last fall company fun

Full house and lots of fun been going on. Nancy and Rodney left this morning but Paul and Sherry are still here for a few more days. Last day of September,  wow it goes so fast...

It's hunting week at our house and for Mark and Paul there's been lots of coming and going, early hours, late hours, but no success so far. The elk have been elsewhere. There are a few days left to keep trying, we'll see.

Lots of other activities happening as well. Rodney and Nancy brought a van and chainsaw to cut some of our downed trees in the woods. We have endless wood even as we've had some big areas cleaned out. Acres and acres of woods mean beauty, wildlife, and mess. Real forests are not pristine parks that's for sure.

Lots of driving to see gorgeous fall color. Lots of other people doing the exact same thing. It's one of the few times of year Ohio Pass is crowded - leaf watchers.

No rain, great weather, and this spectacular sight. With little ambient light at Star Mt. the stars are always fantastic, but the blood moon was indeed amazing. We all marched out front to cavort in the moonlight and I used a tripod, time lapse, and mostly winged it in technique as I never do this. It was the only decent shot, but hey, it only takes one...

Hard not to enjoy the outdoors here. Our fall ends soon and everything goes quiet. Hard to believe we will see it next in deep snow.

Fall drive to Gothic. The leaves have starting falling, as they should at this point, but still lots of spectacular scenery.


The fishing extravaganza commenced. Everyone was there except Mark - work calling. Nancy caught one, Rodney also, Sherry caught a few but did not keep in the creek, and Paul was the mega share - 6. Nancy and Rodney took his and two of Paul's huge ones to take back for future cookouts. Success!

I'll report back on the continuing fall party. Oh, and I'm pretty much back to normal after that crazy horrible cold/sinus infection. Health is key folks.

  1. Such a treat that you posted this. I assumed we wouldn't see anything from you until everyone left. Looks like a grand trip and the colors are hard to believe!
