It's Quiet

Reservations are down quite a bit at Base Camp for the summer. It's the same in Moab. Through May 31st I thought it was going to be a record year and then June, July, and August just crashed. September and October look ok but not as good as last year. At Mad Bro the other day they said they went to order lunch and the first three restaurants they called were all closed for August. Even in the summer I'd get at least one disc golfer vehicle a day pull up and now I get a couple a week. Even those wandering up the drive way lost or looking for a bathroom is almost none existant.

It's been a weird year in a lot of ways. When the snow melt ended and the river went down usually the next three or so weeks are mosquitoe season until the bats and swallows polish them off. This year I saw three mosquitoes total. This is the time in August where the temps usually drop five or so degrees into the 90s but that doesn't look like it's going to happen so Jax and I are spending a lot of time at the Wind Caves and the beaches.

The main beach at the boat ramp is more like a little paradise with streams running through it here and there and twenty degrees cooler.

Really unusual the other night at the little people feeding in the evening no raccoons showed up. None. I don't remember such a night. The foxes got a lot of hot dogs. Next day at the beach Jax and I discovered why no raccoons showed up. Lots of tracks and fish bones laying around.
