Mountain Musings with Uncle Mott: I Love a Rainy Night

Well, it’s wintertime again and I barely got finished putting away all the Christmas tree ornaments on the tree when Albert (my cat) got rambunctious and wanted to play with them. Oh, and then he wanted a fancy dinner so, of course, I gave him a fancy feast. Then,...

Mountain Musings with Uncle Mott – Starman

Well, we made it through Jamboree Days without burning down the mountain. The parade and all the festivities were fun, as were the picnic in the San Moritz Meadow and the fireworks, viewed from the North Shore patio complex. The only thing missing was the return of...
