Winter finally came to the Klamath River on February 24. We have had cold weather, and DID get snow in early December.... but not till now have we had snow that has stuck.
On our way home from Yreka February 24 - Thursday. The snow was coming down fast and furious.
When we got home, my windflower wasn't spinning and my herb garden was under snow.
Friday morning when we awoke, my windflower COULDN'T spin, and the herbs were really under snow.
Even the roadrunner wasn't flying.
We headed into town around 9:30 to the "No Monument" Rally at the Forest Service, and stopped by the Ranch on the way.
Our "No Monument" signs (back to back - for traffic coming and going).
The Ollmann's "No Monument" sign.
The mountains and riverside were breathtaking with the snow clinging to every leaf and evergreen needle on every tree.
The "No Monument" Rally went well. We had a great turnout! Wally Herger, our congressman was there and talked about HR817, a bill before the congress to amend the Antiquities Act... stating that monument designations will no longer be at the discretion of the president, but that these proclamations will be "subject to the approval by an Act of Congress."
Many states are endorsing this bill. Let us pray that it passes.
If the Siskiyou Daily News prints the photos and the Rally, I will share the story.
more later................
