Cabin Life – February 6, 2011

This week there has been a lot of activity down below with bulldozing and redoing the ATV trails for Geigert Ranch (Second Chance). John was up on Friday morning and said they wanted to do a little more work on the main road to our house above the water tanks, but when we checked it out they had done work between the tanks breaking a lot of water pipes. Now Second Chance doesn’t have water until they get it fixed. Glad we have our own well. Now more equipment has arrived and we saw on our Sunday walk that they are redoing the culvert under the road for the creek by Second Chance. It also looks like they are trying to make a pond below where the road crosses.

Bob and Ginger got to walk Warner Springs hike after many weeks not being able to do it. The creek is flowing all the way to the highway like last year, even though we’ve only had one rain in January and still no rain in February. The cows were grazing and Ginger was well behaved around them, on and off the leash. They have also started framing the Fire Station at Warner Springs.

On Sunday we saw a loose bull on the regular trail we walked. The do have cattle by Mataguay and it must have got loose. We don’t have our cattle guards up yet. We also found a pretty water fall just off the trail we have never seen before. Bob heard it while looking for a stick for Ginger.

Dennis heard that they are still trying to close the deal for Pala to buy the Ranch, but with over 2,500 separate Titles to get straight there is a ways to go. There is also a lawsuit about whether the vote to sell was conducted correctly. That will be mediated, or tried next month and the deal wont be able to close until that is settled.
