New Visitors to Trinity



Well you can definitely tell that summer is coming to a close because the campsites are staying full even during the week. For the first time this summer I saw a very large RV that made it to the Phelps Creek campground only a mile from Trinity which means it traveled over some very rough road to get there, but it made it. Yesterday I had visitors up from Plain and as I was giving them the tour of Trinity all I heard was ooooh's & aaaaah's not so much for the buildings they were seeing but all of the great places to back country ski. They were surprised to see the dam and bowling alley and just how magical this place truly is. One of the visitors was David Morris the wine maker from Napeequa Winery, he even brought up some of his wines to share with friends that come to Trinity, it's a wonderful gesture, I just don't know anything about wine, so now I'm going to have to get educated about what to serve and when, everything needed to make the experience great for everyone. Fortunately David said he would be happy to help me out with that. David Wiley and Evan also came out with him. I enjoyed the company and believe they enjoyed being here as much as I did showing it to them. Being so close to the county border with Snohomish/ Chelan counties we figured that we would be the furtherest north place that you might get to taste great local wine from Napeequa Winery and it is also the closest it has been to the valley the winery is named for. These pictures I got from David Morris are early pictures of Trinity in the 20's, Thanks David.

More Excitement @ Trinity

This weekend wa a fun time until last night when the plant dropped which is not that uncommon but when I went to restart it was when the excitement bagan. When bringing it back online the generator began sparking and the voltage fluctuated so I shut it down not needing power to sleep. This mornig when I went to being it back up not only were there sparks but everything came on fast and then relays were popping everywhere so I shut it down fast. It's just one of those things that happens living in Paradise, Life is Good. We found our Paradise, hope you find yours too.

A Busy Weekend




This week has been a busy week out at the trailhead lots of horses and hunters during the week and lots of hikers this weekend. The owners came up and went hiking up Alpine Creek up to the top of Buck Mtn and found lots of snow just past where we can see from Trinity. I was supposed to go to the west side but found out that Peace wasn't going to be allowed where I was planning to go so we just stayed close and had fun here. Friday morning Eric & Michelle along with Jean & her son Will came out for a visit and tour of Trinity got to see all of the sights and we had a great visit, that evening we went to their camp at Schaffer Creek and had a wonderful dinner and Peace and Romeo played very hard while we were there. Saturday we just stayed around here until the afternoon when the owners got back from their hike and then we headed to Plain for the Plain Hardware Moonlight Music Fest, it was lots of fun and there was a great turnout of people, the music was great everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. It was nice to get to see old friends there and meeting new ones. Even got to meet Bob & Kathryn who ended up last Thanksgiving spending time with Kaia & Shaba because they had gone out and ended up at their house, they shared some of their experience with them. It's nice to hear that people remember them with good thoughts forgetting they are wolves just that they are one of God's creatures. I even got some old pictures of Trinity back in the beginning of the mine and that was wonderful to see, thanks to Dave Morris by way of Byron Dickinson. They kept me up late looking at them. Everyday I am more and more grateful for being able to live in such a beautiful area, where Life is Great, can't see being anywhere else.
