A Few Things
Kobae is a master landscape caretaker. Not only does he trim, he waters, and he fertilizes. Sometimes at the same time. 
Some days we stay close when we go out on hikes as we have check ins or outs. Trying to find a place on property we haven't hiked is difficult but what I'm finding is a lot of places we walk on the road. If we go off the road up or down an embankment on either side we find new territory. 
Got an update on water on the Hayduke Trail. Mack said water in Rustler Canyon, Indian Creek, and the start of Lockhart Basin. Worm came back through today. He wasn't hiking the whole Hayduke just scouting for next year. He updated Mack's update. Water at start of Rustler Canyon is a bit salty and the water at Lockhart is very salty.

Tesla came out, most of it. 
Jack Ass Joe and Nancy came by on the Hayduke
The beach is large but not far above the water. The Colorado Snow pack is 150% and the Utah snow pack (Kane Creek) is 200%. I've never seen Kane creek flood without a lot of rain but 200% of melting snow might do something. The next two days are in the 80's so we might get a preview of what's coming in May. The river several years ago was at 135% of average and it took the stair from the boat house and flooded all the way to the big garage. Despite a big berm being created which held the water it came up through the grease pit. This year at a 150% plus the Kane Creek merger at 200% I'm expecting the worst. If there is an upside it's all these ugly domes will likely be going to Lake Powell sometime in May and any survivors will be here for the mosquito season. While not bad up here it's not pretty by the river. Daily blood transfusion likely.
Nate Parker and his dog Mazzi use to come out and play disc here. He told friends it was one of his favorite places. Nate and Mazzi have passed but their friends have brought momentos of them and placed them at the spot with the best view so Nate and Mazzi are still at the place they enjoyed so much. 
Nate's friends brought their dogs with them and it turned into an enjoyable afternoon for Kobae as well as he chased them all around the parking lot. Five against one just the way he likes it. A target rich environment.

Hiking the Hayduke, Cache 22 and I forgot her name. I'm so sorry. 
The days are in the 70s and two residents of Base Camp know how to enjoy the sun. 
Stickers, Worm, BigFoot, and Adrian come by on the Hayduke. 
Heather was here with family and we did the Skinny People hike and got a weird little snowstorm that blew in for 20 minutes or so but mostly melted by the time it hit the ground.
