Sea Wolf, I spent countless summers (16 consecutive, I believe) as a misguided adult, migrating to Lake Shasta for an annual Houseboating event - doing things that are now permanently etched into my DNA.
Originally from Sacramento, I have now transplanted, and plan to be for ever more to the base of the Olympic Mountain Range - God's country for sure - just glad to be renting space on this part of the planet . . .
As far as the house in the background, it belongs to the fellow I bought her from. . . There is a Red RANCH Inn here in Sequim, Used to be about the only motel game in town. . . . . I personally thought "Dead Ahead" was quite creative . . .I only wish I had thought of it for my own.
