winter headquarters

Arrived safe and sound to Apache Junction Az. Traffic was light and trip uneventful. Passed Lary and Sharon Lozier just south of Wickenburg Az. They were stopped for a rest stop or something? Nice RV par (pictures don't do much justice to RV parks), friendly folks who helped me with a jack problem. Ready to hunker down for 5 months or so...

Rainstorm from Union pass

One of the pictures from last summer patrols in the Union pass area. Looking towards Green river lakes and "bend of the river". Another nice day in Hurricane Utah today, supposed to be even nicer in Arizona.

Really old tree

Photo doesn't do much justice to this pic of an old "cedar" type tree. Near Zion park, it's been hit by lots of strikes of lightning over the year as evidenced by the vertical charred strip in the tree . Getting ready to head for Arizona Saturday morning, we're going to a seafood buffet tomorrow night in Mesquite with Sutherlands and Schmidts to celebrate my birthday...

Yessir, another day on the "ole blue marble". We may not be as significant as we think we are??? I.....said that...LOL

Contrails

Snagged this photo off the internet, kind of a "different" photo. Laid low today and did some prep work for the trip Saturday, went over to Sutherlands' and visited with them for a while

Virgin river canyon

Never get tired of traveling through the Virgin river canyon between St. George Ut and Mesquite Nev. Went with Sutherlands yesterday to dine at a restaurant in Mesquite (one of the gamblin joints), was very good and very inexpensive... I should have rolled the window down on this pic, lots of reflection....I'll rationalize and say that adds character

Ringneck pheasant

Took this rather shoddy pic of a ringneck pheasant the other day near Zion park. First one I'd seen in some time. I apologize for yesterday's attempt at posting that newspaper article. From my computer I couldn't enlarge it without it going blurry. One of the links on this blob is Judi Meyer's blog, she posted it on hers and you can actually read it. Life goes on
