For the first time, we found Vance Creek County Park at Elma, WA.
Very nice for walking.
We found people who were very friendly. People of all ages and generations.
Want to visit or live in a friendly place? This is important. We enjoyed it.
Dogs were very well behaved.
The area was tidy. Plenty of trash cans.
Peace & quiet too.

The baby deer will be here in the coming weeks. New bamboo shoots are here now.
Created a new Fargesia bamboo category to show some of how it’s been going over the years.
Enjoying the wood stove.
Thanks to my brother for his generous firewood deliveries this year.
