Peak Moment is Born

Peak Moment "On the Road"
Since April 2006 the duo taken have videotaped over 100 Peak Moment Conversations on location in 27 communities between Santa Barbara and Vancouver, B.C. Catch Janaia's blog during that trip at www.relocalize.net/peakmomenttravels. (See her current blog by clicking journal at the top of any page.)

Behind the Scenes
The Yuba Gals live in rural Nevada City and their business is named for the nearby South Yuba River, a part of the Wild and Scenic river system in California. They live on 160 acres of forest land, in a 1500 square-foot off-grid home using about 10% of the electricity of the average American home (including home office). Their home is heated by a wood stove using deadfall wood from their property. Propane heats the cookstove, on-demand water heater and backup generator (needed only during gray-day periods in winter). Not yet energy independent, but moving in that direction!
