Typhoon Strikes HITW

Although Typhoon and Monsoon rains pounded the Anchor River Valley over the past twenty four hours, the area will not be declared a National Disaster Area. Only damage on the river due to the high water levels is that the weir washed out again, fish counting days have concluded for this season. Two more programs and the Sport Fishing Report will also conclude. At the HITW, the Kroc Pond has reformed so Mr. Kroc is expected to return to his habitat. The fire pit area is also under water, however, the kitchen remains high and dry. The heavy rains were a good thing, while the water levels are up we will send in a survey crew by boat to mark the high water lines in the low areas, that way in the spring we will know where we need to dump truck loads of fill. Butch and Sundance are safe and secure, now that they have relocated their winter home, someone moved it on them but by spreading peanuts to their camper they were able to re-locate and seem to like the back deck area. They will be o.k. for the winter. That is all.

I hope our den has not slid into the middle of the pit. Also, I have never seen signs of Butch and Sundance in the den. I believe they prefer the scraps of the bears.

Remember that little hole beside the vent into your kitchen, there is a piecce of plastic missing, it is to high for them to gain access - but if you were wondering what all those 3/4 inch x 3/4 inch sticks that were laying beside your camper were, those were the stock for a small scale ladder that was suppose to be built before your last arrival. It did not get finished until after your departure, it is the cutest little ladder and they have learned how to use it. I would like to take credit for concept, however, you sister suggested it!
