Yesterday was our last day at the Sodhouse Ranch. We had no visitors which was good because we had a lot of work to do to get the ranch prepared for closure. Tables were covered with plastic. Chairs were stacked on top of them. Antiques were packed in totes and brought back to the headquarters for storage. In addition, fences were erected and gates closed to help prevent cow from trampling the ranch area. Cows are not allowed on the premises, but it seems that a few strays always seem to figure out a way to get in. It was after 5pm when we got back to the headquarters, but we were done.
Last night was the first good rain this area has had since before June. It rained most of the night. This morning I slept in until 7:30 before taking Mollie out for her walk. As I started our walk I noticed the sunrise and the great cloud structure. It was worth a picture.
As Mollie and I headed out I turned to the west and these clouds warned us of what was coming.
What was coming was a freight train. Dark black cloud, high wind, and heavy rain. The freight train passed over the trailer in about fifteen minutes. Now the sun is back, but the high wind remains.
Tomorrow we travel back to Eugene.
