Bruce and Vicki Small: Water pipes for Rosario

Water pipes for Rosario

Robert Moran, who came to Orcas to recover his health after a career building battleships, thought big. Really big. Rosario was a huge mansion overlooking the bay. Above it he created Cascade Lake with a dam, and installed big water pipes to bring the water down to Rosario.

They now use municipal water and the pipes are abandoned. Not an eyesore because they are in thick forest which is quickly covering them, and it would be too much of a disruption to remove them now.

Deciduous magnolia We had not noticed this tree before, in full bloom on the Rosario grounds. The friendly groundskeeper said it was a deciduous magnolia. They have so many beautiful trees, plus all the deer roaming freely.

We are becoming a nice old couple We are getting old fast, despite being in pretty good health. Every morning the aches and creaks seem a little bit worse. One of these days we will be known as the nicest old couple in the Old Folk's Home....
