Everett Lake Rd.






Short trip up the Everett Lake Rd and picture of Miller Creek. Still lots of flow here.

The purpose of today's jaunt was to check out the North tower, a truck with a trailer was seen going up towards the tower about 10 days ago. Well it looks as though some action has finally started, this is either the cell phone tower or our hi-speed internet or both. Either way it is about time.

The area has been cleared and stakes are in to place for the guy wires, a trailer has the anchors and reinforcing rod etc. for the tower. Hopefully work will continue before the snow starts. The picture is the old tower, owned by Northern Telephone.

Tonight's sunset was great, red skys at night sailors delight. Tomorrow should be a great day.
We have a winner in the name the fungus contest in the last post, Gert Trudel has found and identified it as Orange Peel. A common cup fungi; which occurs on disturbed soil at the edges of roads in summer and fall. It's real name (Aleuria aurantia) for those who wish to follow up on this find. It was found in fact in the middle of the road.
