I just uploaded some pics i took last week of the bear and bear folks-
hot as hell but the pond takes care of that, ohhhh so nice, the ranch looks so clean, cleaner than ive experienced it ever- a big thanks to thatch for sticking to it and seeing the need for a clean bear and all the other folks keeping it welcoming and livable- i had a great time, everyone is groovying really good together, smilling and excited , inspired and grateful to be given the gift of what the bear has to offer. the main house garden is looking nice althou many a hours of crabgrass pulling needs to happen, grapes are starting to get full, this year the apples are going to be abundant.. rivers and creeks are still trickling but gettting low, chickens are producing and we added a rooster to do the rooster thang, i guess it helps the chickens lay more eggs. went on a fun wood run , almost died from the heat, but thoughts of jumping in the pond kept me going- there are 2 babes and 1- 4 year old that are about the cutest things ive ever seen, when i left there was about 10 folks living there, some visiting some wanting to be residents- and some well in my eyes are just plain Bear folk who find the ranch thier primary home, all enjoying the gift of the bear.
we had a meeting on the deck out by the pond- regarding "guidlines" ( more later on this subject)- lots of bear things are happening,, we are in the process of continueing what we talked about at the solstice- 'guidlines", systems manual, visitor policy, mission statement, newsletter, web site change,, lots on the table now for the bear, the ball is rolling and things are getting done.
all i can say is the bear means so much to alot of folks, i think i can say me and other BBR lovers do what we do for the ranch because of the Deep love and happiness Black Bear Ranch has given us and still gives us, it seems to be a never ending source of inspiration and appreciation- , my heart has exploded
and i hope yours does to

Re: Magical Bear
Fri, July 31, 2009 - 2:51 PMFantastic ! Good to hear all the positive things going on at the bear. I plan on visiting and staying for an extended time at the bear but it might be a while before I can. Back in Nov I was in a head-on collision with a drunk driver and was mercy-aired to the hospital. I am having to deal with the physical, mental, financial and legal ramifications of someone else's decision to drive drunk. When all that is over I look forward to spending some awesome time at the bear. I'm sure I'll be amazed at all the work everyone has been doing to make life at the bear more enjoyable for all. Keep up the wonderful vibes Davey. The bear would be a much different place without all your hard work and sunshine !

Fri, July 31, 2009 - 4:52 PMYes Indeed! Things do appear to be on the upswing at the ranch. Everyone here is so upbeat and "together" with everything. We do everything together and actualy enjoy it! The kids are great and we all love them. Folks on the river seem to be wanting to come by. Loma and "crowd" stopped by for some lunch and a dip in the pond yesterday...just to hang out with us for a while. Aaron came down from Somes to spend a day and night with us (and cook us some really dank food). Lots of folks are really interested in hanging out here once again....the good vibe is vibrating! We've had a few great visitors who used to live here come by in the past week just to hang for a couple of days. Everyone says they love what they see. All of us living here right now thank you folks for the kind words and expressions of gratitude for the work we've thus far put into the ranch. We love it too !!!..........Thatch
