Hello, I hope your tree doesn't fall victim to the mountain pine beatle. We have lots of pine trees here in British Columbia to the north of you, i wonder what our highest pine tree is. We owned a motel/campground for 12 years and enjoyed doing that.
Dis you know, Northern Oregon will witness a Total Eclipse of the Sun in 2017, you only have ten years to wait, that event will fill all the motel rooms around you at that time
We own a small motel that we bought in 1994 and have worked at successfully, but along with everything that has gone on with the economy we no longer run it as a motel. Plus were getting old, so just do monthly's now.
I got involved with a cat rescue CRAFT NO KILL SHELTER a couple of yrs ago and have started devoting my time to saving baby kittens lives,I am the head bottle baby momma for them,I have enjoyed doing babies over the yrs although sometimes its so sad when you can't save them, but so full filling when they finally find there forever homes and know they got a good one. Sad for me when they leave however.
Please leave a comment as i would love to hear from you.
