Saturday
It was crowded and finally life is back to normal with no rain. Twenty or so disc golfers shows up, just some randome people coming in to see what the property was about, and others for directions. There was always somebody coming up the driveway. One of the most difficult times in the 20 years and we survived it. River went up nine feet and Lake Powell went up 13 feet over the last two weeks. The property survived. The driveways are wider or completely gone and we had to inprovise but survived it.
Friday Morning
The guest that had gone out by river a couple days ago left their rental vehicle heere so on Friday morning I drove their SUV out and had Marcos drive the side by side so that I would have a ride back after I dropped off their SUV. Ran into a couple Jeeps while crossing Kane Creek.
Thursday Evening
Jax and I took the side by side over to Kane Creek and it's very passable. On the way back to the lodge we met a guy named Marcos from Brazil hiing a small portion of the Hayduke Trail. Heck of a sunset from Hurrah Pass.
Gray Fox
For the last couple weeks a gray fox had been hanging out at the lodge. Sleeping on the west cistern or overlooking the river. I was on the porch with the watter wacking flies and it was hanging out on the sidewalk just a few feet from me.
North Side
Jax and I travel to the north side of the property, Last Hurrah. That's a road that's never coming back though driving through the crrek bed is working out fine.
The Property
Jax and I travel the property to assess damage after the last hail/rain storm. The driveway coming down the hill by the truck held up pretty well but I can't get a propane truck down it to get the winter propane.
River Journey
The river has gone up 9 feet in the last two weeks. Kane Creek is impassable to get back to Moab. I have some guests who are nervous about making their flight if they can't get out on Thursday and since it's been raining and hailing most of Wednesday the odds are not high. I call a friend in town who has a boat to see if they will come get them and she says the Park Service has a rescue boat. I call and they say they'll come get them. Teresa has been trying to get out to meet friends of Craig to spread his ashes around at his favorite places. I coordinate with Chris and he shows up with Brodie to take everyone out.
