One hundred and one.....

6:42 am - Tuesday - March 19th - GNHS  - 55° F, humidity 74%, wind 4 mph out of the northeast.....partially cloudy today with a forecast high of 76° F.  On this date in 2015 TLE and I were boondocking near the shores of Lake Powell in Southern Utah (about a mile from the Arizona border, and Glen Canyon Dam).....loved the early evenings there.....

 After two busy days working it was nice to sleep in Monday morning, and wake up slowly to the rising sun. We've gotten so used to not putting in that many hours renting RZRs that when we must work it seems like an imposition.....lol.  It has been nice not to be on call all the time like we were last year.

We've been hovering at the 99 mile mark in our daily walks for about a week now.  We spent last Wednesday through Friday driving hundreds of miles taking care of root canals, and new tires, and then worked Saturday and Sunday, so we didn't feel like walking, but Monday we decided it was time to break the 100 mile mark with a 2 mile out and back walk, which we covered averaging around 3.2 mph.....with that walk we have achieved our goal of walking 100 miles this winter (officially 101 miles), and we've still got almost three weeks to go.....

....the views, air clarity and quality were spectacular, and we even saw a turkey buzzard near the Tilapia ponds......

.....TLE and I spent a couple of hours removing the 8 strands of fairy lights from the surrounding palms trees as we begin to take down our site.  It's always the first thing we do when getting ready to leave a location.  Amazingly, the strand of fairy lights I left on the palm tree in front of the COA office are still working after being on that palm tree for 18 months.  You may recall I left them on the palm tree on purpose last Spring to see if they would survive the summer, and they did, plus another winter.

Around 3 pm I headed down to the hot pools/tubs to take my first soak in over a week....

....the number of soaks I have left are becoming quite finite now, but I will not leave here wishing I had soaked more, because I have soaked quite a bit this winter, and feel much better for it.

No nomadic day is really complete without a fire on the 'firepit deck', and we've still got some wood to burn, so around 6:30 pm TLE and I headed outdoors to do just that.....there was not a breath of wind, and the air temp was perfect.....

....we listened to the Etta James Channel on Pandora, sipped some Scotch, and talked until after 8 pm.  I can't believe that old stainless steel wash tub is over 20 years old now, and still providing amazing fires!

Thanks for stopping by!
