Magic happens here there is no doubt, that is what I tell my friends before they ever get here, but most never really understand it until they arrive. Whatever it is that is needed will happen if we just allow it to happen and not try to force the issue. Most people work hard to buy big toys but become a slave to whatever it is just so they can take it out a few times a year, me I like the simple life and being here all the time, don't have the high overhead and I get to be where most people want to be year round, having fun and enjoying life. The sad thing is that with all the vast areas around here there are not many big game animals, we have lots of mule deer and a few bears, but no Elk, mountain goats, big horn sheep, or any of the other animals that should be here. I'm hoping to change that and will keep you posted as to any changes but as always any sugestions would be appreciated.
As the title says Magic happens here and never has anyone come here having a bad day and leave with all worries gone. What ever is need seems to happen here as long as you come eith an open heart and no preconceived idea of what you need, son't worry about the time and most days not realy sure what day of the week it is, but I always get to where I'm supposed to be. the official radio station for Trinity is KOHO Radio out of Leavenworth, it has the best music mix you will find anywhere and doesn't keep playing the same few songs over and over, and after talking with several people from the station including Gary the manager I'm convinced that it will just get better, Keep the Valley Rockin'. It's peaceful here like no place I've seen before but I like it best when the snow arrives, then the hikers stay gone for a few months and only snowmobilers can get this far out, looking forward to trying out the new toy an ATV with Tracks should be a kick and not get stuck like can happen on the snowmobiles so I'm ready for the new snow to come. Keep checking back for new updates as I think about it or have something to say but if you are looking to find a peacful place to have megic happen in your life , this is it. Welcome to Paradise, in the middle of Washington.

Tribute to my Mom
On Sept 7th my mom was buried after a brief illness and stay in ICU in Houston, it was a sad day for my family but I haven't been close to many of them for many years, yet my mom and I talked quite often via IM's. My mom always had a smile and cheerful personality and brought light into dark places. We didn't always agree but the last few years being honest was more important than pleasing everyone. I tried to educate her as much as I could and being that I have had chronic pain since I was injured in 99 and have been on many medications that weren't helping me with the pain. My mom always enjoyed having people over for a party or get together and she loved her husband Farrel very much and I saw them work through things I never knew were possible. Mom died on Sunday afternoon and ws buried andfuneral services were on Wed. I wasn't able to get there on such short notice but we (Nashaba & Kaia) and myself went over by the creek and had our own service, nothing fancy but remembering and celebrating her life, she always loved watching her grandchildren and great grandchildren grow and always made time for them. I wish I had some pictures of her to post but don't. In the past year they had purchased a ranch in the hill country, and were spending alot of time there always telling me how great it was, but I already knew that I had been trying to get them to do that very thing for many years since I worked as a hunting guide and ranch manager in the early 90's. Everything happens for a reason exactly when it is supposed to happen, I don't understand the timing but know that her work on earth was complete or she would still be here. For the first time in many years she was with her parents once again. Mom I love you so very much and think of you often.
Very busy 2 days
The pace at Trinity is usually very laid back, I don't wear a watch nor do I worry about the time, don't punch a time clock, but that all changed yesterday morning. I received an email that I would have people out here doing repairs on several snow survey stations owned by Chelan PUD and US NCRS. By 10:30 there were 6 trucks because each had their own vehicle, then the helicopter from World Wind showed up with Doug as the pilot for the 2 days. Nashaba happy. He did well with all of the excitement sepecially since he is always very standoffish, and usually stays hidden in the trees until he feels more comfortable, but he's always watching everyone. The best part was the helicopter trip to Park Creek snow station and Lyman snow station. The sad part is that the glacier is melting and if it continues at the rate it has been melting it won't be there in 10 years. My backyard is the Glacier National Wilderness and the largest concentration of glaciers in the northern hemisphere. I guess I should tell you about Trinity first then we'll get into the rest of the story. Trinity is an old copper mining town that was started in the early 20's by the Royal Canadian Development Co and at one time they had 400 people working here either in the mine or support for the mine, being so far from anything they were totally self sufficient, and they had their own saw mill and hydroelectric dam one of the oldest in the country, with the capacity 240 KW of electricity from a pelton wheel, and yes it is the one that was originally installed and runs continuously with minimal maint. but that is why I'm here. it has not been a mine for quite a long time but there are still some of the structures standing but mostly just 4 houses, the powerhouse of course, a bowling alley/ theatre, the setteling tank and the dam itself which is my favorite place year round. That's enough for now but I'll be back with many more pictures and lot's of good information you may or may not like. Peace and Blessings Tazz

have you found paradise yet
For those of you that have looked but never found paradise, let me share mine with you. I've always enjoyed the outdoors and for several years worked as a hunting guide. It was a great time but I got hurt and couldn't continue doing what I did. Today I live in the Cascade Mountains in one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. This is my first post but stay tuned were just getting started. and have some great stories to tell.
