Another Day in the InBetween Land

The InBetween Land

There is a land between the north side of this property and Jackson Hole. It's a land of canyon and mesa. A beautiful land. Jax and I are exploring the InBetween Land until we know the InBtween Land and it's secrets.

Meanwhile in San Diego

First Snow

We got six snows last year and they were all gone the same day. As was the first one for this year.

The Day Hiking

We're Empty

The Thanksgiving weekend and the few days after were pretty much the end of the season. To me this is the best hiking time of the season. Jax and I usually head out about noon or so and pick the direction at the bottom of the driveway. It's perfect temps. T-shirt, flannel long sleeve, and vest. Once you're hiked for half an hour you're more than warm. We try and head out to places we haven't visited in quite awhile. We swung by the old sheep pen where Pinto, Thelmas, and Louise use to live.
We found tracks heading downhill into the bottom of the canyons below Hurrah Pass. It seemed as if the tracks were searching for water holes as they always veered toward where there was substantial vegetation. I thought the tracks which were dated weren't cowboy boots so not likely it was the cowboys looking for water for their herd.

Still Expanding

The creek is still expanding. Couple more rains and the basket on #17 learns to swim.
