The Sign Says

 River is rising an inch or two a day and you can get straight in the river from the boat ramp without carrying or dragging the kayaks through the mud.


Collin found a bunch of signs in the garage and while I was in town he spent the day sticking signs around the property.
Guy from Kentucky pulls up on a dirt bike and says "I'm in the right place." Two guys from Colorado pull up in a side by side and say "This is where we're suppose to be." Night before last, I see lights out at the sign around midnight. Shortly there are two lights walking up the driveway. They have run out of gas on Lockhart Basin. Collin offers to take them back with gas. One guy says, "I saw your sign I knew my prayer had been answered." They said they'd pay a premium for gas. Collin took them $50 worth of gas and they gave him $100. However despite both of us telling people not to go down Lockhart Collin drove the new side by side up it and had a broken shock and flat sidewall tire. So $200 for the shock, $200 for the tire, and $50 for the gas, for $100 and Collin drove their truck out for them. We're down to one side by side until parts come in. I'd have gone half a mile in maybe and then let them carry gas to the truck.

The two yellow trucks that spend 20 years in the mud during the flood of the big garage.


The Desert Willow in front of the lodge begins blooming between the 10th and 14th every year of May but as of this morning it hasn't bloomed yet this year but it's close and the smaller Desert Willow next to it has begun.
