I went up to Carrizo this week to meet with BLM about doing some finish carpentry and tile work on the MU Ranch. Looks like I am officially on the fed payroll and will be heading back up next week to get started.
Craig Deutsche toured me around a few of the homesteads and ranches on Wednesday and then I met up with him again yesterday morning to learn how to modify the barbed wire fencing to allow these Pronghorn to crawl under while escaping coyotes. 
Glad to see the Palo Verde Trees doing so well and in full bloom right now.
