By the way, Place Creek is the name of the year-round creek running through our property. In fact, more than half of the creek is on our property. Above the property it quickly changes to a marshy gully, while below the property it soon empties into Bridger Creek. Before the Christies owned the property, much of the land in this area was owned by a man by the name of Place, hence the name of the creek.

The end of July saw the end of major repair work on the Main House. In particular, the landscaping for the area over the Garage was completed to create a xeriscaped patio. The water from spring snow-melt should run quickly away from the house, then west (right of the picture).
