Fires!
I've had a few calls from concerned clients so I thought I'd give everyone and up date on the fires! I went up to the ranch today and climbed the mountain to see how close it was to us. As of right now it looks like we will escape the wrath of another fire but I can't be positive just yet. I went up to where I could see highway 16 and it looks like the fire crews lit back fires at highway16 and burned them back to the east, putting our ranch out of harms way!! Unless the fire somehow crosses highway 16 we should be ok this time. There was an incredible amount of ash laying all over the ground at the top of the ranch and are very lucky that a spot fire didn't start. Looking to the west all you can see is black scorched earth! Hopefully the animals made it out ahead of the fire and have found safety somewhere.

Blown Pump!
As we were getting ready for phase two of our willow tree plantings we had a little glitch! I had the pump running to get the ditch full so we could get water to the transplants quickly, but the pump had other plans! I had noticed a rattle in the pump the last time it ran and today it gave up! After a quick call to Beymer Well Service in Yuba City the crane truck showed up and the pump was pulled so we could assess the damage. The casing was rotten and the bowl had rusted completely off of the pump, leaving us with only one option, a completely new set up was needed. The guys at Beymer work quick and plan to have us back in action in a couple weeks so the trees will have to stay in the nursery for now!
