A Library

This surfaced while piddling through the hard drive. It was (originally) in the window in Beatty, Nevada....was that May? Might have been April.

Still need to sow those Calif poppy seeds in the front 40, then begin packing. Should be camped, instead of "housed," by tomorrow afternoon. Still, it's always tough leaving the Michellles. 

Beatty Castle

It's discoveries like the Dawson Castle that add enjoyment to my travels. It overlooks Beatty, Nevada, on the road to Death Valley.

Todd Dawson and his youngest son, Dakota were hard at it when I pulled up. Todd said it's been sixteen years and no one is gonna call *him* a quitter. 

THE VISION

GRAND ENTRY 

Notice the stone work

We talked about how in any project as you go along you see ways to improve on your idea. Such is the case for Todd. Contrary to what people might think, he acknowledged it *hasn't* kept him out of trouble. 

SERVANT'S ENTRY

In his spare time he builds houses for the nearby National Park (Death Valley).

CURRENT LIVING QUARTERS

That's Todd & Son
