Hart Hill; The Hart Bros Ride Again
Trip Date: November 2, 2020
Well, we were really getting down to it now. Last year, our first with the property, we had our last trip up in early November. Steve and I came up to ready things for winter, cover piles of materials, take home our tools and whatever we didn’t want to leave behind, and put in the…
Death Valley with Haley and Brett
