Ready or not, it's avalanche season. A tad early this year, too. This avalanche happened at mile 21 last Wednesday (we live at mile 6 and the church is at mile 29)...so we weren't sure we were going to make it to MP for Bible study/music practice. But, they had it all cleaned up by 2 p.m., so no problems. It wasn't terribly big, we heard it was about 30 feet wide and 50 feet deep, or maybe the other way around!
We had heard they were going to shoot down two other avalanches, but we didn't see any sign of them.
(For those of you not familiar with MP, its in a valley that has a several avalanche chutes...yes, some people do actually build their homes in past problem areas, "But there hasn't been an avalanche here for 30 years..." kind of mentality). We do not posess that mentality, which really cut down on our options when looking for a house, part of how we
ended up here!
