3 Weeks Ago Flood Insurance Was A Hot Topic On The Project, with snow-pack levels at near record levels the irrigation project community worried that snow-melt would be a huge impact.  Little did anyone know it was going to rain 4 to 9 inches above the tiny creeks that feed this community and flood the whole area! Shock and dispair at the once trickle creek beds to wide river flows taking out building, cars, cows and roads.  It's hard to believe that all that water would come so fast and so strong. The aerial pictures that the county emergency crew representatives are taking from helicopters and air planes in the last couple of days will be blown up and mounted at the county courthouse to document the water takeover of lots of land.  This will help people who may want to build someday o... 05/23/2011

My East Slope Internet Guy Is Really Good, Small Town Service. Tonight I was having a little internet connection trouble so I gave my internet provider a call, it's after 6pm.

Where were you?  At the Homesteader Days Celebration, that's where! This annual event highlights the strong heritage of this farming community.  People out on the Project, and those who've had the misfortune of having to move away, seem to migrate back to the homestead for a weekend of family fun and get togethers. My Mother In Law, Shirley Thomas, grew up on the Project.  She now supervises the Old Schoolhouse part of the Huntley Project Museum, very fitting since she is a retired School Teacher!   A board of volunteers organizes this event for the benefit of the local community, you can find out more about the Museum at this link. For Friday's program, check out the map below for directions to the center of the activities at the Osborn Park on Hwy 312 between the little town of Huntle... 07/09/2010
