Hello, I'm Linda and I live by the Klamath River in Northern California. I moved here in June of 2007 to be with my, then soon-to-be husband, Jim. He had a nice house nestled in the pines of the beautiful Klamath Mountains... a unique and picturesque area with abundant rainfall in the late fall, winter, and early spring. The area has plenty of outdoor recreation; rafting, fishing, mining and more. There is an abundance of wildlife

such as mountain lions, black bear, coyote, fox, deer, elk, otter, and more. Fishing is good here too and the salmon come up river to spawn every year. It's wild here and yet it's close to major cities and shopping.

 

I had wished to have a garden, a couple Nigerian Dwarf goats, some chickens, and rabbits. In other words, a small homestead. We were looking at housing and we came across this house that we both fell in love with. It was build in 1951, was rebuilt in part in 1997. It has a beautiful view of the river and most important to me, it has room to garden and I can have the animals I had wished for. It also has several out buildings, including a guest cabin which we use as a vacation rental. There are also many other buildings that we are converting to our use, such as a wood shop and a barn for the animals.

 

 

Along with the 10 year old cat we already had, there was a stray cat that came with the property and she has wiggled her way into Jim's heart. Soon after moving here we found and rescued a mixed Shepherd/SharPei puppy and he has become a beloved part of our family as well.

On the top info bar you will find many different categories on my site. Please visit my forum and come join us and help make it grow. I am looking forward to seeing old friends and making new ones... I also have a general homesteading Blog and a Blog devoted to my goats, please follow along as I relate how this journey goes and where it takes me. You'll also find my webshop where I sell handmade wood items and plan to branch out into more and varied items at some point as my minifarm grows. I also sell goat kids. And please feel free to sign my guestbook!

 

Bon Voyage!
