Amanda: waiting, hunting, and fishing

We got an early start from Soldier Hollow, through Vernal, Utah, into Colorado and down to Meeker.Sue Schoen left us, which was disappointing.

We made a stop at the Kenny Reservoir for a swim bash, to which even Beverly came.There was beauty all around.The water is such a remarkable spectacle in the middle of a desert, blue and refreshing against the stark moonscape.The dogs loved it.We snacked on breakfast.

At Meeker there was a struggle to park, and Sandra and I went hunter gathering.Success.I picked up three fresh elk legs from a game packer.I couldn’t carry the fourth.I gave them to the dogs, which was very popular.The fella says he will have more tomorrow, so it is fresh elk legs all around, maybe daily.

Joe and Dorey

Bev got a cute new puppy to keep Dorey company.She calls him Joe.Happiness is a thing called Joe!!!

Meeker held a pizza party for welcome to the hands.It is like old home week here for me.I missed a year when my Dad was ill, but that was one of the only years.

Bev is up first in the morning.That is a run I will not miss.Oh boy.Mirk.I can’t wait.I run Ethel Thursday morning, and Clive Friday morning.Lots of fun waiting.I think I will fly fish the White River.
