Walk Down This Mountain: Late Fall WyCo

Late Fall WyCo

Today is the end of our mad rush of volunteers. I'm planning to sleep and then maybe go hiking, but it's cold and rainy. However today might be the best day to go since they're expecting the fallout from Hurricane Sandy to be pretty substantial here--10 inches of snow by Monday.The snow won't stick because it's been 80 degrees all this week, but it will be wet and heavy and take out a lot of trees that still have lots of leaves. Because of this, they're also predicting up to 10 days without electricity (which for us includes our water because it is not gravity fed from the mines or a water tower, but from the pump house in the yard.) So it's starting to look a bit like Y2K in here-- filling up all our gas tanks, water coolers and pantries. Should be an interesting time, but at least we have candles, board games, blankets, and oh yeah, FIVE generators in our construction warehouse. I think we'll be just fine, but I'm even more glad we won't have volunteers for awhile.
