Welcome to Critter Haven!

Within these pages lies a weird and wonderful world of Critters and Codgers in the California mountains.  You'll see lots of critters who own two old codgers body and soul.  You may even get a glimpse of one of the codgers if you look quickly, but you needn't worry overly much about being burdened with codger photos.  We'll concentrate on the critters and the countryside because they're easier on the eyes.

Therefore, you may kick back, click the links to the left, and explore our site with no undue worries.

A Bit About Us...

In 1998 our house and business in the California Delta were flooded and condemned by F.E.M.A..  Since neither F.E.M.A. nor our homeowner's insurance would pay to repair our house, we lost it.  From there, things went decidedly downhill. 

Then we moved to the High Sierra Mountains.  There wasn't much here when we arrived:  a double-wide trailer, a well, a septic system, electricity, propane, a phone line, lots of tar weed, and, of course, deer, tree squirrels, ground squirrels, lizards, newts, rattlesnakes, tarantulas, spiders, insects, more spiders, a mountain lion or two, a bobcat, a bear from time to time, a fox or three, and LOTS of coyotes.

Little by little, we've adopted various critters, added a few amenities for them, and settled in to a far calmer life than we had before.

We've named the place Critter Haven, and it's now the proud headquarters of Yakaholics Anonymous!!!
