The Call

In the words of Marianne Williamson: "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we’re liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Hello Klamath Wildlife Area

1000's of  Ross's Geese
Larry - We had no idea of what we had signed up for and so were pleasantly surprised at how perfect the fit was for us. SOMEONE must have been looking out for us since we didn't even apply for this wildlife area. We maintained a native forage plant plot, picked up trash on 2700 acres of wetlands that provides habitat for migrating waterfowl, placed swallow houses in trees and on poles, made and erected trail signs, helped with banding doves, tended a brand new fruit orchard and generally helped the biologists with their projects.

Our little piece of paradise
Storm clouds brewing
Charlotte - Never imagined that we would love the high desert is so much. Fell in love with the wide open spaces. Boy, did we luck out. We worked with a great group of people and loved the tasks they gave us to do. We had amazing camp spot all to ourselves, which means a lot to us because we value our privacy. About the only noise was the distant train whistle, which I love because of growing up listening to trains in my childhood, some traffic on the road and lots of bird noise; sand hill cranes, geese, ducks and robins in the morning and evening.
