Its been awhile since an update. I was gone most of June on a fire assignment to Santa Fe, NM. But life resumed back in Moab in July. Jenny came down with two friends - Saul and Swarga to visit in the middle of the month. We went for a nice hike up in Arches National Park.
Towards the end of July I celebrated number 58. Yes - grey hair is predominate now.
Along with other presents, I bought myself a 2007 KLR650 motorcycle to replace my poor worn out 1980 Susuki. Now I can ride on dirt roads and go to the mountains if I wish.
In mid August I took a motorcycle trip on the Goldwing down in to New Mexico and eventually up in to Colorado where I attended a Goldwing motorcycle rally in Salida, Co. We all made a trip up to this lake by Leadville one day.
Over Labor Day week end, Rindy/Shane and Clinton/Natalie came to visit and play. So we made a quick trip to the mountain for a picnic and picture at the family tree. Glad to have others at the tree besides Mary and I this year.
Later in Sept I took a real nice two day motorcycle ride to visit Kodachrome Basin State Park by Cannonville, Ut. Hiked there all morning. One of the best rides I have made.
Here I am hiking on the Angels View trail. This is a real pretty little park.
Then at the beginning of Oct., Mary and I made an overnight trip to SLC and spent one morning at Hogel Zoo. I really enjoyed checking out the critters. Haven't done that in ages. Here is Mary and the tigers.
And that is the highlights of the last several months. Not too many adventures on the farm. Got the haying done for the year. Took some cows to market. Had our irrigation dams wiped out by a flood one day. And fixed a lot of farm equipment. :)
