It is raining, not a thunder shower this is a real wetting the earth rain. We had rain off and on starting at Ely and had to slow down to 50 mph a couple of times.  If it stops raining I will take a campsite picture.

Campsite picture from inside out,

Tomorrow starts the hard part of vacation, we will get to Zion Natl Park and the big decision of the day well be how many strawberry daiquiris to have and how many will be two shots of rum vs. one. I’ll have to work my way through it. Morning walks with Hank and afternoons in the shade.

Update Monday morning, here are a couple of campsite pictures from this morning, sunny.

12:30 morning update did not update, here are the pictures:

 

Massacre Rock State Park, ID – Saturday August 31, 2013

Today was the first day of a doing nothing vacation.  Hank and I went for a walk this morning.

Fixed the passenger side rear clearance light and cleaned out the bottom of the BBQ.  Tomorrow we head south on Nevada hwy 93 and will spend the night out in the middle of no where, it should be dark to see stars.  I don’t think we’ll have phone or internet.

pictures for today:
Have a great Sunday.

Crystal Mt. – Sunday August 18, 2013

Woke to a sunny cooler morning. Having our regular morning, coffee and Bailey’s with Andes’ chocolate. We plan to hike up the right side of the valley.

Here is a great picture Don took during the lighting storm last weekend. It was posted on weather.com.

This is the second post for today, Hank & I hiked up right side of the valley under The gondola.

Some screen shots from tracking app.

High point.

Distance is plus a mile, the road is rocky and I was getting concern about Hank’s feet.

This sign is at the start of the road going up hill, and it is up.

 

Crystal Mt. – Saturday August 17, 2013

We came up here this morning.

Last night was family theatre night at Issaquah’s Village Theatre, Brian, Tanya, Christine, Don, Eric, Jean & Me. Brian is in a developmental play “Watt”. Great time and funny musical, I know “Watt” the musical for James Watt sounds strange.

Don’t know if Hank and I will get to go hiking up the valley. The road has an oil seal coat and the oil may not be dry enough for Hank to walk on It and not come off on to his paws.

Here is campsite picture taken with IPad.
