Our last week at Malheur. Wed and Thurs we will be packing the tubs with the antiques (props) from the Bunkhouse and the Homestead house. Also stowed will be the materials that have been displayed in the office. R has taken photos of the displays and will be putting them into a booklet to help future volunteers set up the buildings in the future.
The weather this week has been fabulous. Sunny and warm days (mid 70s) cool nights ( high 30s to low 40s. Saturday, however gave us another windy day. I was out in the southeast edge of the ranch pasture shoring up the fencing, when the wind began. Usually, the wind comes up gradually. Not Saturday. At 10 O'clock the strong wind began, whoosh and it continued and even increased as the day went on. Clear blue sky and yet the wind was howling.
The it is time to close the site. The visitor count is low. Zero for several days. Two for a couple more. It is a waste of our time to spend eight hours out there for one or two couples. I do little maintenance jobs, R cleans the sites, but mostly we sit in the car or on the front porch waiting for cars to drive down our lane. Time passes too slowly.
