Spring and fall are short seasons at 7200’. Today we are in the mid 80’s. They are calling for a chance of snow on Wednesday. The aspens and cottonwoods are all a bright yellow. They add a splash of color to the green pine and spruce trees. We usually have a pretty good cold snap and then move into a beautiful Indian summer.
Last year we completed the community volleyball court. There is a small picnic area next to the court. We will be adding a horseshoe pit next year. I don’t think we kept score at any of this year’s games. We play for fun. Mountain volleyball adds a new dimension to the game. If anyone hits the ball out of play it could cause someone to chase the ball down the mountain. That is usually one of the kids who is wearing shoes. While the ball is being retrieved, most of the game participants leave the court and find their beverages. We will be taking the net down in the next couple of weeks.
If you look real hard at the picture, you can see my buddy, Milo, the wonder dog. He still can’t hold the flag while I fold it but he does keep the bears away.
The volleyball court is behind the new fire station and below the cemetery. Speaking of the fire station, they installed the doors last week. Hopefully we will be ready to occupy the building soon.
The next planned event is the Halloween party at the school house. It will take place on October 29th. More on that later.
