Walk with USFS and City of Corvallis

Ranger is repaired as far as its most serious problem is concerned. It drives just fine. I need to order brake pads and have them installed the next time I come down.



One of the pump faucets drips while the pump is on. It looks as if it could be easily repaired by replacing the faucet part. We'll see.


































Nice Job!!!

Wow - lovely transformation of the chicken house, the tool room, the cool room, the garage....nicely done Sid and Mancinis!!! I'm not sure everyone would call those days at the farm as "vacation!" Perhaps Sid's equivalent of having friends and family dig cactus out of the pasture. Yep. Vacation for some; plain hard ranch and farm work for others. So appreciate the pictures Dee. You are making that little Nikon of yours work like it means business.

I thought the field looked so pretty with the path through the Queen Anne's lace.




This is across the creek. In the far distance you can see where the old bridge was placed.




A closer picture of the old bridge.




An end view of the old bridge.




Where the old bridge used to be!




The swimming hole looks cool and beautiful.




A gorgeous view.




The chicken house is lovely in green. It has been repaired, painted and cleaned. Not to mention improved upon.




The tool room between the laundry room and the woodshed is super clean, organized, and ready for serious projects.




The alcove of the tool room was seriously nasty before Sid and his posse showed up. Look at it now!




The cooler has been transformed in a most delightful way!




Lots of nice storage in the freshly cleaned and painted cooler.




Both the tractor garage and the truck garage have shelves and/or cabinets that display tools in a most sensible fashion.




The dismantled Ranger, waiting for a part to come in.




The busted part.




Sid mowed this area. Bill is digging up the remaining stumps and roots so that we can run the riding mower over the area safely.




Some roots are more stubborn than others.
