After a very mild winter with little snowpack on the mountains, we went on to experience an unprecedented heatwave and drought throughout the entire season. The snow that was on the mountains in spring had almost totally melted off by early July as the photo above shows. Normally we would have prolonged...
I've heard it said that a picture paints a thousand words! So I thought I'd let some of our photos from July "tell the story" of how things have been going so far this season!!
