Between the pancake breakfasts, the Fourth of July gatherings down at Elephant Butte, and the steady work on Tiger Stadium, there's a rhythm to July that says people here are invested in staying put, in building something their kids will recognize. The water's running, the lake's drawing visitors, and even with construction dust flying, somebody's thinking about next season's ballgames. That's not nothing in a place like Sierra County.
