Today I took Nora and a friend of hers to one of the local pumpkin patches a bit north of town. It was nice to get to a part of town with less smoke as well. We had a great time and it does feel more and more like fall has arrived!

It was hot and calm, but cool in the mornings this year. We hiked to Grizzly Peak as usual and read the book Orphan Island this time. Solid read. Good times. See you next year.
TEN. She is TEN with the gusto to go with it . . . .
Below are some images from the Jefferson Wilderness Area, formerly just Jefferson National Forest. My daughter and I hiked here this past weekend to see where my father worked as a fire lookout back in the summer of 1947. He is in the top left photo and his cabin and the lake are also there, too. The cabin and the lookout that was at the top of Grizzly Peak are no longer there, but the area looks very much the same as when he was there 76 years ago.
