The Goat Fortress

When Phil’s parents came to visit, Phil and his dad built a goat fortress. The spools were generously given to us for free by the nice guys who work in the yard at the San Isabel Electric Association. We pulled up with a horse trailer and they got the forklift and loaded us up. For the base, Phil’s dad fixed Cuzco’s old shed that blew away and crashed in the scrub oak last fall. Phil used the tractor to stack the spools, and Phil and his dad built the ramps to connect them.

Nubbin is the nearly-undisputed tower queen. She and Finn have this thing figured out, but Nubbin doesn’t let Finn share a spool with her, so Nubbin claims her spool and stands up there looking down on everyone like royalty.
