Hart Hill Trips (The Boys)
Trip Date: September 17, 2019
The stars had aligned to come up for a second work trip to hopefully finish the outhouse and put the roof on the deck. As it turned out, this was also the day that Vince and Ken were passing by on their way to Alturas, so it was to be a conflagration of events. Alas,…

Hart Hill via Lake Tahoe
Trip Date: September 3, 2019
I have been fortunate enough to get invited each year to a cabin Mark rents in Lake Tahoe, on the West side, between Homewood and Tahoma, just up from Chambers Landing. It is a great part of the lake; close enough to Tahoe City and all it has to offer, but otherwise very quiet and…

Hart Hill Trips; Many Firsts
Trip Date: June 3, 2019

In my mind, it was $89,000 and although I remembered it being a big piece of land, it didn’t really catch…

Denver Trip with Kristen
Trip Date: May 7, 2019
Kristen had a conference to attend in Denver, so I was finally invited to go to one of these with her. I had been to Denver as a child to pick up my dad’s mom Edith in about 1970. Edith was born in Arvada, about 7 miles Northwest of Denver, about a third of the…
