"The Point" - it won't be the same in future...  But with "The Paivika Spirit", new inspiration and new Paivika Plants - you never can tell...

Behind the Arts and Crafts building © 2003 Don Foley
Behind former Ceramic/Arts & Crafts building.  These trees didn't burn, but were lost to drought and bark beetles, like many forest acres of lost Coulter, Ponderosa Pines. They are the potential fire problems of the future.

Our trusty Camp Fire Water System © 2003 Don Foley
It must be said that our high powered Camp Fire Water System came through with the knowledgeable help of Manager Kenny Kunsek and Dedicated Wife and Director Kelly.  It most appropriately must be noted that Program Director Bonnie and Support Staff (throw in a small army of firefighters and equipment) saved Paivika!  A Great Paivika "Thank You" is expressed from all who care.
