Jax and I

Doing what we like to do the most.

Haydukers

I lost both of these guys trail names. As soon as I find where I wrote them down I'll fix it.

Happy David Goggins came through.

Clouds and Blur came through. Haydukers #s 46 and 47.

Hiking with Jax

We're both still doing pretty well after all these years.

High Water Mark

Generally the day after the high water mark in the Colorado River is when the mosquitoes show up. Most years it's after Memorial Day somewhere. Three nights ago there were two mosquitoes and none since. The water barely covered our beach for about a week and made it to the bottom of the beach stairs for a few days and now has retreated. To get in the river we have to drag the kayaks about 30 feet across the beach. On this day last year the snow pack in the Rockies was at ten feet. This year it's a little under three feet. There's nothing left to melt. I think we've hit our high water mark. The dock over at the boat house was level for one day and now the water barely touches it.

Rock Squirrel #21

Jax and I took rock squirrel #21 halfway up Hurrah to the train station and released it. There are at least ten more still left.

The Cactus are Blooming

They only bloom for seven to ten days each Spring and that is now.

Overlanders

Six overlander vehicles are camping here for a few days. One of the ladies came to use the restroom and said she saw raccoons on the porch. I told her they own the left side of the porch, the skunks own the right side, the ringtails own the rafters, grey foxes the left side of the parking lot and the red foxes the right side of the parking lot. She looked at me for a minute and said "Sure they do." I guess, thinking about it, might be hard to believe if you hadn't seen it with your own eyes.
