Some days Jax and I are the only ones here. Nate is in Salt Lake for another week and Collin has an electrician here rewiring lots of stuff and installing a couple more washers and dryers so we can keep up better or function normally if one goes down. We can't get anyone to come out here and fix them so then we have to drop them in town and sometimes it takes weeks if not months. So now we have three commercial washers and three commercials dryers and a smaller set also in the Main House. On those days Jax and I hike nearby. Then they can call us from the front porch cooler walkie and meet us somewhere or wait for us to return.
Small hawk, male, sharp-shin sitting on the rock outback. Other than him the only other is a larger one who I haven't identified yet who's territory goes all the way out to Jackson Hole where I see it occasionally.
I got to say these are wonderful days. The exploring, reading the tracks, identifying the landscape. and breathing the air. Being tired, bone hurting tired, and barely being able to walk, even the cramps at the end of the day, are wonderful. I found, online other people here and there that expressed it better.
“The beautiful thing about going alone is that every triumph is yours, every consequence of every mistake is yours, everything that you have to figure out is on you. That’s a really powerful experience. And sometimes it is beautiful and positive and exciting, and sometimes it’s negative and hard and lonely. I wanted that. I welcomed that.” —Cheryl Strayed
