A Glorious Day Needs A Glorious Setting

Pam wisely took the day after her birthday off. When we woke this morning the sky was clear and the plan emerged to hike High Rock Lookout with the hopes of getting some great pictures. We arrived at the trailhead and were on the trail at 10:18. The 9 plus miles from Skate Creek Road are harrowing to say the least. There are some "gear breaking" potholes along the way.

We made the top - 1.9 miles - in just over 40 minutes and were greeted by these views.












I hope you like the pictures. The only other update I have is that we recently harvested 50 peppers from the greenhouse. It was a combination of Anaheims, Cayennes, a hybrid hot pepper, and Jalapenos. They are drying in the oven at 150 right now so I can turn them into chile powder. There are easily 3 times that on the plants that will need to be harvested in the next week or so. It smells great in here right now.

More soon.....
