The park's housing area is in beautiful ponderosa pines. Though somewhat architecturally deprived, I was fortunate
to get government housing. The piano arrived in "sound" shape, in tune, although the dry climate might change that.

I'm been busy learning the new job, meeting staff and unpacking. How many ceramic mugs can one own?
Wildlife-wise I've seen prairie dogs, pronghorns, mule deer, wild turkeys, western bluebirds, turkey vultures
and a mountain chickadee. There is even a very rare bear wandering around...would love to see that.

This is the monsoon season and many thunderstorms have brought dramatic skies and needed moisture.
The colorful geological formations and stunning night skies are things to marvel. It is so quiet too!
