We did go back up this weekend since it was supposed to pour up there and I wanted to check on the new camp tarps. Unfortunately, I had checked the Rancho weather (where it poured) thinking it was the 3R weather.
It was good anyway since there was a little more progress. They started to erect the steel barn and I took several photos of that. Bad news is I left my camera at camp, so I will post those when I get it back.
Here are some pictures of us hiking to the home from the South/West corner of our property. A different route through the woods instead of taking the road up there. You can see it through the trees as we get closer to it. It also gives you and idea of the sloping terrain and where it's located from a different perspective.
As we approach the home, you can see the clearing we had to do around it. This Spring all the natural flowers and grasses will grow back. In order to keep it fire safe, we plan on irrigating the surrounding area to keep it green year round. Otherwise it will all die and turn into a tinder box.
