Fifty-two years!

Two idyllic settings (and one historic site) on opposite corners of our 'new' land.  First a Meo-and-Doco wedding anniversary walk up to the dam and beyond to the cedar swamp - damaged by the logging, but not ruined.  This part of the stream (Harris Creek) is my small-childhood ideal of a creek running through.  A lot of clear water rushing between the low mossy banks.

The 'historic site' is on the ridge above the cedar swamp to the south.  A 20-foot cedar snag, seriously burnt.  Cole figures it is one of the few remains of a spotty forest fire that must have burned through the ranch in about 1850-1860.

Then, idyll #2, at the eastern end of the Bosun Lake, the north-eastern tip of parcel 2411, the Fidelity Mine property that came to us in our ranch-land purchase last September.  At 4pm on a sunny June afternoon, after rain, it couldn't have been lovelier.  Doco and I have had some good 52nd anniversary explores.

P.S. As Teagan said at about age 7, "Doco, what's it like being married to Meo for all these years?"
