I see your point. That is a very sharp question!

And this maybe more like what we are now experiencing: Walking to Indian River by Mary Oliver I’m ready for spring, but it hasn’t arrived. Not yet. Still I take my walk, looking for any early enhancements. It’s mostly attitude. I’m certain I’ll see something. I start down the path, peering in...

Spring by Mary Oliver Somewhere a black bear has just risen from sleep and is staring down the mountain. All night in the brisk and shallow restlessness of early spring I think of her, her four black fists flicking the gravel, her tongue like a red fire touching the grass, the cold...

I have tire puncture repair supplies, an air pump, a battery jump thingy, a couple of coolant hoses and a spare coffee grinder. My tool bag has spare fuses, screws, duct tape and electrical multimeter, etc. Going on 4 years and the several things I have had to fix or replace have all been things...

This winter at least gave us this classic:

Back in my first year of undergrad I asked my Historical Geology professor why geologic time had such illogical names like Ordovician, Silurian, Jurassic, etc. He was kind and said it was just tradition from over a hundred years in the past, everyone in geology used the same terms, and I would...

Nature does not bother with being discreet. When it is time to procreate, very few species, flora or fauna, are left wondering if it is the right time! Any means will do including water, wind, bugs, birds and nowadays we humans labor to serve the procreative desires of yeast, bacteria, fish...

A mighty fine way to spend a snowed in day!

Not Yet, but I will. Thanks for the tip! I definitely need a break from Wild New World: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1324006161?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details which is true enough, but very depressing.

Of all places, Carroll College, is a surprising place to find: chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://scholars.carroll.edu/bitstream/handle/20.500.12647/2619/2008_MillerC_THS_000649.pdf?sequence=1&isAllowed=y I will read about the raven's exile.

Interesting. In the Salt Lake Valley and around Boise the winter fogs will settle in and stay for a week or two sometimes. Often rimes form on all the trees and bushes, creating fantastical shapes. They call them inversions, but seem like a similar phenomena. A short drive to any higher...

Yeah, I went through two manifolds before I finally learned last October to fully disassemble the water system. Also used an air compressor to blow out every line I could get to. I am crossing my fingers that I have done enough, but I will find out in a couple of weeks when I put everything back...

Yay! Mission accomplished. Now the travel planning can commence in high gear!

Yes, we have dual batteries and a solar system to charge them

Ours was stolen in a break-in over a year ago. We have not missed it al all.

Fantastic photos, Steve!

E to W or W to E depending on port/starboard tilt or where the moon will rise. That full moon can really seem bright in the high deserts. Has been known to wake us up in the wee hours.

What a lovely Beast of a snow removal machine. Thanks for the back story Foy!

Myron is fairly new at the YouTube thing but does a great job!

Climbing up and down dunes is harder than climbing hills! Another very fun trip report.

Today I ordered a chicken and some eggs from Amazon. We'll see.

I see mosses and liverworts!

Yes! And self-reliant and more than a little courageous.

Thanks for taking us back to DV and Trail Canyon. Fun that you crossed paths with Wonderhussy. This may be the video she shot just before seeing you guys:

Almost a year ago we had lunch and a gawk at this very same spot. Great views!
