Part 2: Locations - Holland Valley

Gardenview Packing Facility

The last facility added to the Hadlers' apple empire. They shipped their apples throughout Hope County and beyond. When the cult went red state, the Hadlers stopped their legal threats and resorted to violence.

Silver Lake Trailer Park

A community of people just trying to do their best.

Gardenview Orchards

A part of Doug and Debbie Hadler’s apple empire. After their ciderworks facility, they expanded to a second, larger orchard: Gardenview Orchards. Then they opened the Gardenview Packing Facility.

Rae-Rae's Pumpkin Farm

Fiery matriarch Rae-Rae Bouthillier cares about two things: Prize-winning pumpkins and her dog Boomer.

Gardenview Ciderworks

The first major facility owned by Doug and Debbie Hadler. Ten years ago, they had a dream: an empire made of apples. They nearly achieved it too, until the cult forcibly took over everything they had worked for.

Bridge of Tears

It was called the Mišihrew Bridge when the railroad was still active. It’s now a rickety old train bridge and John Seed's ideal location to send a warning message to all sinners.

Frobisher's Cave

In 1970, a cougar, named "Frobisher" by the locals, killed the star pitcher of a rival baseball team. The Hope County Silver Foxes won that year and changed their name to the Cougars in Frobisher's honor.

Howard Cabin

Home of Niesha Howard, an extreme rock climber from Canada who moved to Montana to be a prepper.

Copperhead Rail Yard

Copperhead Rail was created in the late 1800s by Emmet Reaves. It was shut down in the early 70s and a lot got left behind. It became a place for kids to get drunk or bums to find shelter, then the cult bought it.

Lincoln Lookout Tower

It’s the last working fire tower in the county. A man who worked here promised to help the Strickland family fight off the cult if ever their farm was under attack.

Sergey’s Place

A hobo historian calls this place home. Nobody's seen him in a while though.

Boyd Residence

Will Boyd lives here, or at least he did. No one in the valley talks about him. And for good reason.

Strickland Farm

Property owned by the Strickland family of farmers. No friends to Eden’s Gate.

U.S. Auto

A scrap yard containing trashed cars, broken farm equipment, and even a few busted planes. Eden's Gate uses the garage to build and maintain their convoys.

Doverspike Compound

Les Doverspike was a militia nut and he built himself a bunker. Nobody in the prepper community liked him. Despite that, he was anti-cult and pro-Resistance.

Harris Residence

Mike and Deb Harris were preppers with a cunning plan to keep themselves fed after the end of the world.

Reservoir Construction Yard

Deep North Water wanted to build a new reservoir for the Holland Valley. The company ran out of funding and was chased away by Eden’s Gate.

Dodd’s Dumps

Colin Dodd used to run garbage disposal for the whole Holland Valley, and his business lot shows it. The cult intimidated him into leaving but has yet to sort through all he left behind.

Davenport Farm

The remains of a run-down farm. Local farmers let their cows graze here. Can't let good land go to waste.

Hilgard Electric Power Station

The Holland Valley's power supply is reliant on this transformer station which is controlled by Eden's Gate.

Golden Valley Gas

Once the kind of gas station that gave out free bubble gum to kids, Golden Valley is now a strategic point of gasoline and auto maintenance for the Project at Eden's Gate.

Green-Busch Fertilizer Co.

Facing a decline in business, the Green-Busch family said “yes” and sold the place to John Seed on the condition that locals could keep their jobs and work alongside Eden's Gate.

St. Isidore School

Once a religious boarding school, it was forced to close its doors by Eden's Gate.

Dodd Residence

Home of Colin Dodd, hoarder and DIY enthusiast. He never throws anything out. His granddaughter Nadine's been known to lurk here.

Roberts Cabin

Home of Joe Roberts, a hunter. He's gone missing. He loved hunting deer above all else.

Hope County Clinic

Dr. Kim Patterson provides medical services to Hope County's farmers and low-income residents, many of whom would never receive care in such a remote area.

Holland Valley Station

In the days that it was up and running, Copperhead Rail used to stop here. Eden’s Gate uses this station to catch people who try to escape the region.

Grain Elevator

As the farmlands started to collapse, the grain elevator was the first casualty. Too expensive to maintain.

Henbane River Rail Bridge

Copperhead Rail was created in the 1880s during a mining boom, and shut down in the early 70s after the industry collapsed.

Flatiron Stockyards

Bobby Budell established the stock yards in 1946, and has proudly provided farm and ranch auction services since. The economic and community base employed over 25 people at its height.

Fillmore Residence

Home of Doug Fillmore. Not much is known about him.

Dupree Residence

Home of Tommy Dupree, an idiot who used to work at Green-Busch Fertilizer Co. He got fired by Eden's Gate because he was as dumb as the crap he bagged.

Catamount Mines

Fall’s End owes its existence to the gold Orville Fall discovered here in 1865. The mine brought a generation of prosperity to the region until a suspicious accident entombed 100 men within it, forcing its closure in 1912.

Sunrise Farm

Sunrise Farm was going under, so owners Mike and Chandra Dunagan reluctantly sold it to Eden's Gate. Big mistake.

Deep North Irrigation Reservoir

Originally designed to irrigate farms, the reservoir became a liability when the cult began putting Bliss in the water supply. The Resistance sealed it up to buy themselves time.

Red’s Farm Supply

The Redler family has run this place for 4 generations, and earned a reputation for honest business. Wendell did his best to keep it out of cult hands.

Purpletop Telecom Tower

In the 1950s, Purpletop Telecom built this tower, blessing people with the wonders of AM radio. As time and technology marched forward, they were also given the American splendor of a local TV station.

Woodson Pig Farm

This place has been in the Woodson family since 1943. Current owners Andrew and Frances Woodson used their wealth to try to stand up to John Seed and fight him in court. They lost, and joined the Resistance.

Sawyer Residence

Don Sawyer came from out of town to join the Project at Eden's Gate. He restores canoes, but isn't very good at it. Visitors have sworn they've heard him swearing in Russian over those boats.

Hyde Barn

Kenny Hyde's a poor man in Holland Valley, but that doesn't stop him from loving deep fried balls. He's the proud keeper of Fall’s End Testy Festy decorations, stashing them at his barn until they're needed.

Kupka Ranch

Zip Kupka's the only one who really knows what's going on in the Holland Valley.

John’s Gate

A missile silo long decommissioned and abandoned. The locals used to call it "Area 68." Eden's Gate bought it in secret and turned it into a bunker that is in John Seed's safekeeping until the Collapse.

Security Gate

Formerly the entrance to the missile silo, it's now the gateway to John Seed's bunker. Everything taken in the Reaping passes through this checkpoint.

Steele Farm

The Steele family managed to get their kids out of Hope County, but stayed behind to try and defend their home from Eden's Gate.

Lamb of God Church

A Lutheran church. Its elderly priest was overshadowed by Pastor Jerome’s charismatic sermons. John once asked the priest to say “yes.” Not a chance. Then, the priest was gone. He had taken a “long vacation.”

Lamb of God Sacristy

The Project at Eden's Gate has turned the Lamb of God Church's sacristy into a holding place for everything they need to baptize people at the water's edge.

Armstrong Residence

The Project at Eden's Gate targeted the Armstrong family early, burning their home to the ground when Grace Armstrong refused to devote her sharpshooting skills to the Father's cause.

Bradbury Tractor Shed

A shed for tractors.

Hope County Jail Bus

Prisoners hijacked this bus but were run off the road. The wreck was left to rot in the woods. When Eden's Gate brought prohibition to Hope County, some enterprising moonshiners set up shop behind the cult’s back.

Parker Laboratories

Home and workshop of Dr. Laurence Parker, and the origin of many mysterious noise complaints.

Seed Ranch

The power of yes gave John Seed this dream ranch overlooking the Holland Valley. it has commanding views, a private air strip, and secluded soundproofed rooms for his most invigorating religious pursuits.

Bradbury Farm

The home of the Bradbury family, hay farmers for generations. The strange pattern of dead hay in the field does not impact the quality of the final product. That's the Bradbury guarantee.

Bradbury Hay Field

Bradbury Farm's hay is baled and stored here before being sold to clients looking to feed their livestock with quality hay.

Laurel Residence

Laurel family honey was a local market favorite until their bee colony collapsed and jeopardized the business. It also spooked the Laurels who sunk money into a bunker and became preppers overnight.

Eden’s Gate Greenhouse

Bliss plants are found throughout the Henbane River, but they're also found here. John Seed takes the flowers he receives by boat from the east and plants them in his greenhouse.

Seed Boat Launch

Once a favorite spot for summer frolickers, this boat launch is used by John Seed for receiving shipments of Bliss and other supplies from elsewhere in Hope County.

Rye & Sons Aviation

This plot of land was first settled in 1920 by Willard Rye. He started a crop dusting business. His sons inherited both and it now belongs to the current generation of Ryes: Nick & Kim.

Kellett Cattle Co.

The Kellett family supplied beef for 3 generations. These proud Republicans thought they recognized the American spirit in Eden’s Gate, but when John Seed asked them to serve the Project, they said “no.”

Fall’s End

After prospector Orville Fall struck gold, his small mining camp quickly grew. Decades later, his rival, rail baron Emmett Reaves, shot him dead in the streets, giving the town its official name.

Old Silo

Welcome to the middle of it.

Kay-Nine Kennels

The owner, Kay Wheeler, loved her dogs more than life itself. She bred and trained hunting and guard dogs. When Eden’s Gate showed up, the local demand for guard dogs tripled. John Seed noticed and took action.

Sunrise Threshing

A silo and shed complex attached to Sunrise Farm. Rumor has it that Mike Dunagan's stashed a lot of cool shit around here somewhere.

Redler Residence

Home of Wendell Redler, local businessman and Vietnam veteran.

Adams Ranch

Jules Adams lost her husband in an "accident" after saying no to John Seed. Her family's struggled to keep the cattle ranch out of cult hands ever since.

Miller Residence

Despite financial hardship, the Miller family refused the cult’s invitations, prepping for doomsday all on their own. When the reaping came, Jerry Miller was out working.

Wellington Residence

The Wellington family mine is an urban legend, supposedly stuffed with gold, explosives, or both depending who you ask. Generations of Wellingtons (possibly inbred) have tried and failed to strike it rich here.

[scotianostra]

September 6th 1826 saw the birth of Alison “Eilley” Oram Bowers at a farm near Forfar.

I learned about this extraordinary lady a few years ago, what a life she had, after marrying the first of her three husbands at aged just 15, she emigrated to America at 17 and during the next 60 years she became one of the richest, and most talked about women in the US, outlived three husbands and her children and reinvent herself, after becoming bankrupt as a fortune teller they called The “Seeress of Washoe”.

It is said Alison joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints as means to get across the Atlantic, and so it was after marrying the first of her three husbands, Stephen Hunter at aged just 15, she emigrated to America at 17. Other sources say she never became an actual follower of the Mormons, as they are generally known nowadays, but her Husband was baptised into the faith. I admit a lot of her life story is conjecture and on every occasion I have researched her new information arises.

Following the Mormon custom of her day, her husband, Stephen Hunter, took several wives after they had settled in Utah. Eilley, however, did not enjoy the polygamous lifestyle and soon divorced Hunter. In 1853, she married Alexander Cowan.

The two moved to the Carson Valley where they purchased 300 acres in Washoe Valley. In 1857, Cowan, who was also Mormon, returned to Salt Lake City during troubles between the church and the U.S. government.

Eilley chose to divorce Cowan rather than return to Utah and moved to Johntown, a mining camp below Virginia City, where she opened a boardinghouse.

During this time, she acquired a handful of mining claims from boarders unable to pay their debts and met a Comstock miner, Lemuel “Sandy” Bowers, who would become her third husband.

The two combined their mining holdings and, as luck would have it, ended up owning one of the Comstock’s earliest major silver strikes. Within a short time, the Bowers were among Nevada’s first mining millionaires.

Deciding to spend their seemingly limitless wealth, in 1864, the Bowers’ began building the huge stone mansion on Eilley’s acreage in Washoe Valley. While the home was under construction, they traveled to Europe to purchase furnishings. When it was completed, the mansion was one of the most magnificent homes in the state and the Bowers were willing party hosts. During the next four years, they indulged themselves on the finest clothing, furniture, and collectables.

In 1868, however, Sandy Bowers suddenly died of silicosis at the age of 35. By then, the original mine had become tapped out and he had invested much of their money in several unprofitable mining ventures.

After the estate was finally settled, Eilley found herself penniless. Despite her best efforts to hold on to the mansion, she was unable to keep it. Her misfortune continued when, in 1874, her adopted daughter, Persia, died at the age of 12. Since her days in Salt Lake City, Eilley had been intrigued by the occult.

Apparently during that time she acquired a crystal ball for fortune telling and had prognosticated for friends, although other sources say she brought the “Seer Stone” from her home in Scotland.

In 1875, following her many financial and personal setbacks, Eilley set up shop in Virginia City as the “Washoe Seeress.” Despite skeptics, she practiced her arcane arts for nearly a decade, until the decline of the Comstock.

In the 1880s, she moved to San Francisco, where she worked in various jobs, including–as she had so many years before operating a small boardinghouse. In 1898, she was placed in a rest home in Oakland, where she died in 1903 at the age of 77.

The Bowers Mansion survives and in 1946, it was purchased by Washoe County with the assistance of the Reno Women’s Civic Club and public donations; 20 years later, the property was updated and renovated. Today, it’s Bowers Mansion Regional Park. The home has been restored and refurbished with historic pieces donated by Nevada residents. The grounds contain hiking trails, picnic areas, spring-fed swimming pools, a playground, an amphitheater, and more.

9, 11, and 17 for my favorite jacobs psychological torture victim lucky pls

Lucky my best friend Lucky

9. How do they feel about the preppers? Preppers are just part of the Hope County ecosystem. Lucky never put much stock in all the end-of-civilization talk, but ultimately never felt one way or another about them as a whole. Since Lucky's always tramping around in the woods, they've definitely had run-ins with folks stocking their bunkers or hunting for food. Lucky's amicable, but some have been less than friendly and run them off. There's something appealing about stashing food and supplies out where no one can find 'em, though, so Lucky's got a couple little caches hidden around the Holland Valley. Sometimes squirrels get into their snack stashes, though.

11. First thoughts on the Seed family? Lucky thought they were squares, but generally nice folks. Typical church people, like so many around the valley. Lucky's always been a little dodgy around religious leaders, but when Joseph was cozied up with Pastor Jerome, it made Lucky feel like he was safe and trustworthy. Every now and then the Seeds would drop in on the Silver Lake Trailer Park to mingle with the community - usually Joseph and/or John - so Lucky got used to seeing them around. Lucky and Leland's family issues were well-known around town, and John Seed was the first Seed who personally approached Lucky about it. He didn't pry, but he seemed to understand what the siblings were going through, on a personal level. And Lucky thought he looked cool. The designer jacket looked very chic. 17. From the White Tail militia which one they get along with?

Crystal Jones was Lucky's first real kiss. It was at a party in the woods when they were teenagers. They never dated or anything, but they've always been friendly. They see Wheaty around here and there, but they don't run in the same circles so they don't know him well. The first time they ever really talked, Lucky told Wheaty they were an unironic Limp Bizkit fan so that's probably why Wheaty doesn't really seek them out to chat up when they're at the same get-together.

17/01/2023-Siskins and more at Lakeside and home 

As I walked along the northern path at Lakeside at lunch time I inspected some finches in a tree and alongside Goldfinch as hoped found a few Siskins. It was a delight to see these distinctive finches looking as though they had been dipped in green paint, always a joy to see as a bird I do see at Lakeside but not frequently and are a classic winter species here. I spent some happy minutes watching these birds, taking the first picture in this photoset of one among others that I tweeted on Dans_Pictures tonight. It was reminiscent of when I first ever saw Siskins at Lakeside mixed in with Goldfinches on 1st January 2018. It is also special as they’re my first Siskins of the year being the first I’ve seen anywhere since 30th December here on a lunch time walk, my 121st bird of the year leveling the amount of species I ended January on in 2018. I am thrilled to have got year ticks two days out of two on Lakeside walks so far this week, it’s a great unique feature this year that after the initial New Year’s Day Lakeside walk then rest of the week off to start the year elsewhere laying the foundations of my new bird year list for the first two weeks back at work I’ve got a fair few ticks at lunch times especially at Lakeside on working from home days. There’s been luck at times as with any birdwatching but it feels I’ve used the site well to pick up a few of the species at the edge of the range I see at Lakeside in places that I’d not yet seen elsewhere. As I said last week the last couple of years whilst I’d have a fair few birds to aim for at weekends around the county/further afield after the initial hit of seeing loads of birds early in the year it got to the pattern that after the New Year’s Day walk there weren’t many year ticks at Lakeside slotting back into working weeks so it feels as though the few this year has spread the joy of the very start of the birding year for me something I find so exciting across the January weeks and it will stand out for this year I’m sure. 

It was a green day in a green week so far after today’s Siskins and yesterday’s Ring-necked Parakeet with cracking views of two Green Woodpeckers late on in the walk in the eastern meadows. My Dad a non-birdwatcher joined me for my walk today as we do monthly and Green Woodpecker is one of the few he recognises and he likes them so it was right on cue. Other highlights at Lakeside at lunch time were Kestrel, Common Gull and Herring Gull with the Black-headed Gulls on beach lake as is expected with it turning colder based on past experiences, Tufted Duck and great views of Mallards including shuffling across frosted grass by beach lake I took the sixth picture in this photoset of one male doing that. Blackbird was a key bird of my day with male and female seen from home around the garden possibly brought in a bit by the temperature dropping, I haven’t seen a female from home for ages I took the eighth picture in this photostet of her, and I saw male and female well at Lakeside too. With the variety of birds in and around the garden of late I am very excited for the upcoming RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch. Woodpigeon was another key bird seen from home today I took the second picture in this photoset of it on a frosted roof visible from my room with lichen looking nice so this was a nice moment. At Lakeside also I saw a Grey Squirrel well along the northern path and took the fourth picture in this photoset of it as a rare bit of sun poking through today kissed it well.

It was a slightly white and silver day too with a beautiful lingering frost, and ice gripping Lakeside once more with puddles, memorable floods at the country park and pools in the northern fenced off area frozen. Bramble leaves and other leaves as in December made nice focal points for me to enjoy frost on. It was nice to see catkins again. I took the third, fifth and seventh pictures in this photoset of views here today. On a day with nice horizontally long and layered clouds the stage was set for a memorable sunset and there were amazing views as the sky turned orange then red and distant trees looked moody as it darkened. I took the final two pictures in this photoset of scenes towards sunset. Fittingly for the start of BBC Winterwatch tonight, a memorable winter day.

Wildlife Sightings Summary: My first Siskins of the year, Green Woodpecker, Woodpigeon, Collared Dove, Feral Pigeon, Starling, House Sparrows seen well in the garden, Goldfinch, possible Blue Tit at Lakeside, Robin at Lakeside and in the garden, Blackbird, Magpie, Jackdaw seen well at home, Kestrel, Mallard, Tufted Duck, Black-headed Gull, Common Gull, Herring Gull and Grey Squirrel.

Have some random facts because I suck at typing bios and it will take ages for me to get a carrd up:

-Originally born in Billings, Montana. Didn’t have the best home life growing up, his parents were junkies and often neglectful at best. Needless to say it wasn’t a stable environment.

-Spent a lot of time with his grandpa to escape his parents. His grandpa was a WWII vet, which inspired Randy to eventually join the Navy when he grew up.

-Married his high school sweet heart at 19, not long after joining the Navy. They divorced after 12 years of marriage, and 3 years after having a daughter.

-Was a SEAL for 10+ years before eventually retiring and moving back to Montana to be closer to his daughter and ex-wife.

-He joined the Hope County Sheriff’s department Whitetail Mountains division after leaving military service. The Whitetail Mountains Division takes on more investigative work, handles the County’s high profile calls, and is home to the department’s SWAT team. He eventually rises to the rank of captain within the department.

-Loves to fish in his free time.

-He lives in the Silver Lake trailer park.

Can you really put your dishes into the dishwasher dirty without scraping or removing food and buildup? Salespeople, manufacturers and even dish detergent manufacturers will tell you that you can. You definitely cannot unless you want to create problems in your dishwasher. Of course, this sometimes defeats the purpose of dishwashers saving water, but food residue builds up, blocks the filter, gets stuck in the wash arms and even clogs water level sensors. These are repairs that can be avoided with a little care before the dishwasher cycle starts.

Timeline of passenger railroad service and the railroad yard in Las Vegas

Railroad Yards, c. 1907. Railroad Shops and Yards, c. 1912.

‘01: William A. Clark forms the San Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake Railroad Co (SPLA&SL) for the purpose of building a railroad line from the docks in San Pedro, CA, to the railroad hub in Salt Lake City. Clark and Union Pacific (UP) became equal partners in the company. Construction begins with a planned route through Las Vegas.

‘02: Clark buys Las Vegas Ranch and water rights from Helen Stewart, gains right of way for SPLA&SL line.

‘04: Railroad tracks reach Las Vegas.

‘05: “Silver spike” near Jean on 1/30 marks completion of the line. The railroad forms subsidiary Las Vegas Land & Water Co. (LVL&W) for the city's land and water sales. Las Vegas Depot opens 5/1.

‘06: Las Vegas Ice House built; destroyed in fire and rebuilt two years later.

‘09: SPLA&SL begins construction of shops and roundhouse; completed two years later.

‘16: Company renamed Los Angeles & Salt Lake Railroad (LA&SL).

‘21: UP buys Clark's share of LA&SL; name and logo are phased out. UP calls the line the Salt Lake Route.

‘22: Railroad workers strike, Jul-Sep. After the strike UP closed the machine shop; machinery was shipped to Los Angeles, and the buildings were torn down.

‘36: UP debuts Streamliner “City of Las Vegas” train, L.A. to Chicago.

‘40: Union Pacific Depot opens; first completely air conditioned station in the U.S.

‘48: UP and Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce launch Desert Sea News Bureau (aka Las Vegas News Bureau) to promote Las Vegas. UP’s partnership in the effort ends a year later.

‘52: UP agrees to sell the LVL&W to Las Vegas Valley Water District. With completion of the same in two years UP and LVL&W turn over all water distribution properties, springs, wells, pumping and storage facilities, and water bearing lands. The RR yard remains.

‘54: UP builds landmark water tower.

‘56: UP debuts Aerotrain “City of Las Vegas”; replaced with a conventional train after 9 months. Decline in patronage caused reduction to one train a day each way by late 50s. “City of Las Vegas” renamed “Las Vegas Holiday Special” in ‘62.

‘70: UP depot closes; demolished in Nov.

‘71: Union Plaza opens on site of former depot; Amtrak service established and passenger service through Las Vegas suspended.

‘79: Amtrak launches Desert Wind, first regularly scheduled service since ‘71.

‘88: Plans to move the rail yard out of downtown finalized; UP owns 320 acres in the area at this time. Ice House destroyed by fire.

‘91: UP water tower demolished.

‘92: Cleanup of a 61-acre section of railroad yard overseen by Nevada Division of Environmental Protection (NDEP).

September 6th 1826 saw the birth of Alison “Eilley” Bowers (nee Oram) at a farm near Forfar.

Although she had little interest in religion, she was dissatisfied with her prospects should she remain in Scotland, and is said to have joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints as means to get across the Atlantic, and so it was after marrying the first of her three husbands, Stephen Hunter at aged just 15, she emigrated to America at 17. Other sources say she never became an actual follower of the Mormons, as they are generally known nowadays, but her Husband was baptised into the faith. I admit a lot of her life story is conjecture and on every occasion I have researched her new information arises.

Following the Mormon custom of her day, her husband, Stephen Hunter, took several wives after they had settled in Utah. Eilley, however, did not enjoy the polygamous lifestyle and soon divorced Hunter. In 1853, she married Alexander Cowan.

The two moved to the Carson Valley where they purchased 300 acres in Washoe Valley. In 1857, Cowan, who was also Mormon, returned to Salt Lake City during troubles between the church and the U.S. government.

Eilley chose to divorce Cowan rather than return to Utah and moved to Johntown, a mining camp below Virginia City, where she opened a boardinghouse.

During this time, she acquired a handful of mining claims from boarders unable to pay their debts and met a Comstock miner, Lemuel “Sandy” Bowers, who would become her third husband.

The two combined their mining holdings and, as luck would have it, ended up owning one of the Comstock’s earliest major silver strikes. Within a short time, the Bowers were among Nevada’s first mining millionaires.

Deciding to spend their seemingly limitless wealth, in 1864, the Bowers’ began building the huge stone mansion on Eilley’s acreage in Washoe Valley. While the home was under construction, they traveled to Europe to purchase furnishings.

When it was completed, the mansion was one of the most magnificent homes in the state and the Bowers were willing party hosts. During the next four years, they indulged themselves on the finest clothing, furniture, and collectables.

In 1868, however, Sandy Bowers suddenly died of silicosis at the age of 35. By then, the original mine had become tapped out and he had invested much of their money in several unprofitable mining ventures.

After the estate was finally settled, Eilley found herself penniless. Despite her best efforts to hold on to the mansion, she was unable to keep it. Her misfortune continued when, in 1874, her adopted daughter, Persia, died at the age of 12.

Since her days in Salt Lake City, Eilley had been intrigued by the occult. Apparently during that time she acquired a crystal ball for fortune telling and had prognosticated for friend, although other sources say she brought the “Seer Stone” from her home in Scotland

In 1875, following her many financial and personal setbacks, Eilley set up shop in Virginia City as the “Washoe Seeress.” Despite skeptics, she practiced her arcane arts for nearly a decade, until the decline of the Comstock.

In the 1880s, she moved to San Francisco, where she worked in various jobs, including–as she had so many years before operating a small boardinghouse. In 1898, she was placed in a rest home in Oakland, where she died in 1903 at the age of 77.

The Bowers Mansion survives and in 1946, it was purchased by Washoe County with the assistance of the Reno Women’s Civic Club and public donations; 20 years later, the property was updated and renovated. Today, it’s Bowers Mansion Regional Park. The home has been restored and refurbished with historic pieces donated by Nevada residents. The grounds contain hiking trails, picnic areas, spring-fed swimming pools, a playground, an amphitheater, and more.

One of the amazing things about our Great Lakes is just how incredibly clear and clean they are. This is Lake Superior, and you can see the rocks like they were under glass.

RETIREMENT CHRONICLES 1.4

When I retired from my 9-5 job on Sept 1 last year, I found it useful to continue to apply the semester framework to my life. Since I was still teaching and school had formally defined the tempo of my life for over 50 years and informally for almost all of the others, that was an easy move. But the point was that a semester was a good unit of time to set goals, long enough to measure accomplishments but short enough to make those goals concrete.

I wrote the first of these chronicles in December and the second, as 2.0, in January as the Spring semester was starting. The winter break was far from a semester but it was a full month without anything more to do for school than get ready to teach. I had my first taste of fully organizing my own time around the goals I continue to set for myself: health/self-care; fiction, reading but also writing; and music, watching and writing about it, but also playing. In May, I wrote about my progress on those fronts (and my Galapagos trip and my sister’s death) as 3.0.

But, on the notion that I will continue to give myself grades for what I have down during these slots for at least another round or two, let’s call this installment for Summer, 1.4, expecting December’s entry to be 2.1.

This time around is rather like 2.0 in that it was up to me to dictate my time with just a little of school (some collaboration on my Gleich Honors College project (most amusingly, an aborted phone meeting from Peninsula State Park which was delayed a half hour as I got out of the park and back to Fish Creek, WI), getting a Spring 2025 Short Term Study Abroad class approved, and some general planning for the semester ahead). If I am retired with an asterisk during the school year, the asterisk fades away during the month of winter break and the three of Summer.

What doesn’t change are my three basic goals which frankly flourished.

HEALTH/SELF CARE was, I suppose a bit of a question mark, as we were away from our regular gym and the amenities that have made working out sustainable as I just don’t hurt the next day. We got an at home version of the mats that was our main resource and we found massage therapists in Door County. But, thanks to Medicare’s Silver Sneakers, we were regulars at the two Y’s there, going even more frequently, and using a wider variety of machines. I got stronger. This has been my biggest success over the past year and I am glad to sustain it over our long time out of town.

But that too was a form of self-care in that we were away from St Louis heat, able to take a sustained look at a place we had visited for a week or two every few years, and, best of all, regularly able to look at Lake Michigan or Green Bay and the pelicans that swim/fly around them. I was able to go to five Door County Baseball League games, seeing five of the eight teams and four of the fields rather than maybe a game in other years. While I won’t need to go back to the museums for agriculture, shipping, and general history, I did finally go on the days that I had to myself and have a more grounded sense of Door County. There are a couple of nature preserves and a Native gallery as well as a Door Shakespeare play to catch, but I have checked off many of the remaining boxes.

MUSIC thankfully continues as I tracked that I wrote 39 of my musical souvenirs. While they were mostly jazz, we did go to three MidSummer Music concerts of chamber music and I have begun looking forward to Phil Lesh’s weekly streams from Terrapin Clubhouse as he continues to find a way to mine the legacy of the Grateful Dead canon. We overpacked going north, but that made it possible for me to bring the bass as well as the guitar. I made some initial progress on understanding that instrument while continuing to enjoy the guitar, albeit probably not as systematically as I could. I would like to be more systematic to polish and expand repertoire and technique. I hope to have a report for 2.1 in this series.

FICTION received the lion share of the time and attention that I wasn’t devoting to school. I wrote regularly, finishing a novella, let’s call it, and starting a new one, a total of over 20,000 words. While partially living in a fictional world of my own creation, I read 17 novels (completing one mystery series, pausing 200 pages before the end of another, and getting to the halfway point of Patrick O’Brian’s monumental Aubrey/Maturin Master and Commander series). I also read a memoir on Dutch art.

So I head into the Fall semester hoping to continue to make progress on all these fronts. The challenges will be to make realistic progress with my own fiction even as teaching will draw on my creative brain and to find a way to be systematic about my playing. Watching music and writing about it, walking and working out, and reading are givens and will happen naturally.

Still, things are not on auto-pilot. I am curious what will be new.
