Have We Forgotten?

A message from Captain Issac Wyatt, submitted by Karen Robbins, Chairman, TEAM DARKHORSE
Sept. 11th was a reminder that this experiment of a constitutional republic isn’t beyond failure. That every day, we as Americans would need to fight to keep it.

It was a reminder that our principles of freedom are not naturally occurring in the world. The history of man can largely be characterized by violence, bloodshed, and oppression. And that there are still many who wish that to be the case.

It was a reminder that this nation collectively and consciously agreed to pursue liberty and morality. And a love for our fellow man.

For 19 years, we have told ourselves, ‘Never Forget.’ And I don’t doubt that we remember the great sacrifice made by those who died that day. But the attacks were not merely an attack on human life—they were an attack on the principles that were supposed to unite all of us.
Have we forgotten? I hope not, because reminders are devastating.

Clubhouse Planting

Planting at the Clubhouse is nearly complete with final fill in and mulching scheduled next week.  The two trees in the photo are Desert Willow’s adorned with trumpet-shaped flower clusters that bloom late spring to fall. The trees will attract hummingbirds and are said to be fast-growing and easy to maintain. In the planter surrounding the trees, we have Gold Coin Daisy’s, Pigeon Point Dwarf Coyote Brush, and Siskiyou Blue Fescue for a mixture of flowers, shrubs, and grasses. The arbor has Antignon Leptopus Coral Vines which will be adorned with bright pink flowers with deep pink centers.

Thank you to our Landscape Committee who provided input on the plans and plant selection and assisted with locating the boulders. We are looking forward to watching the landscape establish in the coming months!!

Say Hello to the New Logo

You will start to see our new logo popping up around the community. We wanted to stay true to our history and keep the stagecoach while going in a slightly cleaner look that will fit nicely on items from wine glasses to ranch gates. We hope that you like this new look and keep your eyes peeled for future logo branding!
