Recycle Man...Where are you?
As the days get longer and flowers start to bloom here at the ranch, a chance to get things cleaned up presents a wonderful opportunity for us all to re-use and recycle some of the items that have been stored away for the winter.
Up at the Jeep Barns it seems as if we have a surplus of old Car Batteries, Solar Batteries, Tires and Motor Oil.
What to do, what to do, what to do? These things can seri-ously hurt the environment!!
I’m thinking that the only person at the ranch that can
handle such a problem like this is…..
RECYCLE MAN!!!!!
With hands strong enough to crush a used car and vision that can spot a candy wrapper from outer space, Recycle Man as come to our rescue!.
With just a bit of research from his massive computer bank located deep beneath the Grand Mesa, Recycle Man has found some local venders that will help out the ranch.
To better serve our neighbors and townsman that might want to recycle there items as well,
Recycle Man has giving us all this list of places to go in Grand Junction to save the environment.
Recycle Man...Where are you?

Rising up early in the morning Lamar, tiller in tow ,shows up at the Growing Place ready for a long, hot day. Having already re-moved the sod weeks before, the ground was begging for a final till-ing and rows hoed.
Setting out Rodeo style, Lenny and Lamar and Annie worked in the dirt and dust and muck till our hands where blistered and our
necks where sun burnt red. Nothing seems more rewarding than pouring a pile of dirt out of your shoes at the end of a long day.
Life here at The Grow-ing Place is wonderful. All signs are pointing to a great season with lots of fresh vegetables for our guests.
We’ll be looking for weed pullers and porch sitters to help watch the garden grow. If interested...give us call.

Row-Row-Row the Garden.

“Mother Nature”.
For on this Mothers Day we here at Kessler Can-yon have planted the first seeds of the year.
Potato Seeds and Rad-ishes to be exact. Rising up early in the morning Lamar, tiller in tow ,shows up at the Growing Place ready for a long, hot day. Having already re-moved the sod weeks before, the ground was begging for a final till-ing and rows hoed.

…... and BEARS!!! Oh, MY!!!
Around Six O'clock PM on Monday May, 3rd the Cook was heading out to the Pavilion and Smoker to check on things and make sure them there ta-bles where well covered.
Coming ‘round back of the smoker to see how much wood was there he looked across Brush Creek to see the largest Bear he’d EVER seen.
Dark Brown in color this Bear was most likely a Black Bear but the size of it was more towards the Grizzly type.
Gianormous!!!
Perhaps no other animals have so excited the human imagination as bears. References to bears are found in ancient and mod-ern literature, folk songs, legends, my-thology, children stories, and car-toons.
Bears are among the first animals that children learn to recognize. Bear folklore is confus-ing because it is based on carica-tures, with Teddy Bears and the kindly Smoky on one hand and
ferocious magazine cover drawings on the other.
Dominant themes of our folklore are fear of the unknown and man against nature, and bears have tra-ditionally been por-trayed as the vil-lains to support those themes, un-fairly demonizing them to the public.
A problem for black bears is that litera-ture about bears often does not separate black bears from grizzly bears.
