San Diego Bound

Kobae Says Goodbye to Moab

Three Sharp-shinned Hawks

A few weeks earlier while out hiking with Kobae and taking a shade break I saw three Sharp-shinneds fly over doing circles and talking above us. I'd seen them a couple times since. Today I tennis balled one out of the tree and saw it fly across the river but moments later there was a second on the pump house and a third on the solar panels. By the time I return from San Diego I'm afraid they'll be settled in pretty good and it will take quite an effort to get them to depart.

Westworld

On the way to town I come around the corner to Cliffhanger trail and there are all these human heads on poles on the side of the road. I think it's Ed Harris that is playing the part of Yul Brenner in Westworld. They are saying not to take pictures and keep moving. On the way back, I'm ready.

Hiking with the Man

With forecasts showing highs in the 40s next week Kobae's Base Camp hiking days are down to just a few and he's making the most of it.

Stuff: Lawn Chairs and Water Containers

Were lawn chairs in the old days but have gravity chairs now for placing in the parking lot to view the night sky. Those lawn chairs are left there because they provide an escape tunnel for the ringtails and skunks when the foxes come. The water canisters if facing the lodge are full, if turned outward, empty.
