Startin' In

Pop and I started in on the clearing Sunday in beautiful weather. Pretty early on we felled this big puppy. The lodgepole pine stood about 150' straight up. 
The height of the tree made it a bit nerve racking, but after about 10 minutes it dropped right where we wanted it. 
Our excavator started in with a test hole for the septic system. The county inspector will look at the soil typed and determine what length drain field we'll need. After that he cut a driveway up to our campsite on the uphill side of the road. 
On a drive after dinner on Sunday we spotted this bull moose in the road. Pop gunned it so I could get all y'all the sweet picture of it's ass. 
This is Flint Creek below Georgetown Lake.
We were putting the boat in to go fishing on Sunday evening and one of the showers that had been rolling through every hour and a half created this double rainbow. Five minutes later the guy in the left foreground backed his pickup so far into the lake with his boat trailer, that the tailgate was under water. Think he might have had a few on the lake that day. I didn't take a picture because the guy on the right was next to me freakin' out. I said "teehee"
