Sitting here enjoying the early morning clatter of the Scrub Jays and the Cactus Wrens as the newly started fire at the patio crackles and pops, I can see through the Bailey’s and coffee that there were a few things omitted from the New Years Eve weekend report.
The Mulberries among the upper camping spots got a little trimming done, as January and February are the best time to trim deciduous trees. Just a little off the bottom and some minor clearing to help with their canopy and make it so they don’t scratch up the trailers below them and does not take out a window or such in the process.
The Stites Landscaping company of Gary and Margret trimmed a few bushes encroaching the right of way and cleared out from under the trestles for aesthetics as well as not to catch a stray cinder from a passing steam engine.
The wood pile got a sprucing up with the addition of a trailer load, large trailer load, of 2”x12” material from a Mobile Home Park in Huntington Beach: Rancho Del Rey (thanks again guys). Also the removal of the big stuff that wouldn’t fit in the barrel without the use of a splitter, back to my domicile for splitting and carbon disbursement from my incinerator at home, making the trailer work both directions.
The Hiltons’ had played musical trailers and rearranged a few spaces so that Bill’s fifth wheel trailer would fit. The little Terry went to where the Big Terry was and the Big Terry is going to Hesperia, hold your applause please, as a spare bedroom at the remote shops of the 15” behind Brendon’s shop. The tree next to that space needed trimmed, not in a circle, but in a parallelogram to be able to allow parking. Geometry and Algebra in school finally paid off.
