Whats up?
Thought it`s about time for an update on what’s happening. Lookout time is winding down quickly. The shutdown date at this time is Saturday, 9-26-09 unless extended– which of course I`m hoping for. All in all we had a great summer at Goat Peak. It started out with a “BANG”: a lot of wet lightning and lots of small fires. Since then it slowed down a bunch with some rain from the storms we have gotten.
As of right now we are just entering into a low pressure once again so we will see if the moisture will continue. I would like to thank all of you who have paid a visit to Goat Peak this summer and also those of you who have visited my Lookout web site and my Zazzle stores. Do keep in touch with the sites and do check out my “Lightning Bill Arts” Zazzle store in the Quick Links along with my new store “Z Best of… Lightning Bill Arts.” You can look me up on Facebook as well.
There is still some lookout time left so do pay a visit. Fall is a beautiful time of year with the Western Larch just now turning yellow and the bird migration is also happening. Thanks again!
