Mountain Musings with Uncle Mott: The Spider and the Fly

Lately, I’ve been dealing with a bug invasion. All sorts of critters, like gnats that keep swirling around while I’m in the kitchen prepping my morning grapefruit to go with a cup of joe before I get serious about breakfast with some Frosty Flakes (please don’t change...

Mountain Musings with Uncle Mott – Old Hogan’s Goat

I know you’re gonna think I’m crazy (many people already do), but did you know that you can rent a goat, or even a herd of goats, to rid your property of weeds and brush? It’s true, there’s a company in San Diego that will rent you a herd of goats to create defensible...

Mountain Musings with Uncle Mott – Camp Grenada

This summer marks 65 years since I waved goodbye to my parents (as they leaped in the air and high-fived each other) after I was dropped off at Perris Hill Park in San Bernardino for a six-week-long summer camp adventure at Mill Creek Boys Ranch, high in the hills...

Mountain Musings with Uncle Mott – Get Together

Mountain Musings with Uncle Mott – Get Together

First of all, this week’s Musing is not very amusing; quite the contrary I must say. It’s about the senseless violence that’s going on all around us. Take for instance the attempted assassination of a former president. Whether you like him or not, it’s still...
