We installed new equipment on several towers in the past 3 days.
The new towers will now show up on your computer or phone as “SKPb” The Password has not changed. For security reasons, I am not putting it here, but if you need it please call.
Once you enter the Password you may be asked to “Sign in”, after tapping on that you should see a picture of Timber Valley and a blank space to type in an access code for guest access. You are no longer asked to enter your lot number, just enter “memberoftv”. No spaces or upper case letters.
If you have any issues, call:
Dick Shanahan 503 510-4661
Gerry Vroomman 520 521-0524
Thom Hoch 435-200-4624
We will post further updates as we go
I am beset by demons.
I don’t know why, but they are increasing their devilish attacks on me with a vengeance. They started slowly a few years ago, when, I guess, they acquired
