Last weekend was kind of exciting in the valley. If you recall Saturday was the extreme wind day. Caitlin looked out the window of my office and noticed big smoke coming from east of us. I couldn't really tell if it was on Gary Creek Ranch or Valhalla Ranch. With the wind as it was I called it in immediately. I just said about 3 miles west of Norse. The deputy was first out and gave a better location as on Valhalla. I guess they accessed it from FM219. I'm assuming a burn pile had restarted in the wind. Maybe someone has an update? Looked scary. It was good visiting with Al & Teddye when we went down to see what was happening. Later that day when the dust storm came in and with the lingering smoke, it made our little valley a nasty looking place for awhile.
Mentioning Valhalla Ranch. Doesn't it look great from the road? They did a lot of work there and it looks fantastic. Very nice improvements.
The new County Road widening looks good, especially in the curves. I guess I'll need to clean the fence row when they are finished paving. Right now anything that helps knock down the dust is welcome.
Saw another fox last night. This is a sly one. She'll be hard to get.
