We've Moved

| 6 Comments
Yesterday Roxy and I settled in to a new location here at the park, somewhat off the beaten path in an area closed to the public, where we'd been living in the main campgrounds previously. This new site is just a few hundred feet away from the stables that horse/mule ride concessionaire uses and, yesterday afternoon, I had to listen to one of the mules braying a little more than I would have liked. We are also very close to the largest Utah Prairie Dog colony in the park (they were barking a lot, which I can live with), and from the looks of things it might be pretty birdy around here, too. The first bird I saw after getting here was a Brown Creeper - my first of the year - and there are robins, bluebirds, chickadees, Steller's Jays, ravens, woodpeckers, and almost certainly a few more to be seen as time goes by. I'll get my dripper going as soon as it warms up a little (another "winter" storm on the way). Then there was the Badger; hope it keeps hanging around - some photos of it would be great!

Seems like it's made to order... except for the mules, of course, but maybe you'll get used to that. :)

Very cool! It looks like you will be seeing a lot more birds from there.

That ol' mule's best pal might have been out for the day. It seemed to quiet down after the rest of them came back from the day's rides and it was quiet yesterday. We'll see how it goes . . .

Hope so . . . being away from crowds of humans should help. That is if we ever make it to Spring (snowing and blowing right now).

Yeah, we were at a cabin a couple weeks ago and it snowed, very surprising for April in Georgia! At least the snow is better than rain though!

Here we expect it, though. It's been gloomy all day with the occasional flurry, then 20 mins. ago the sky was blue (a mere hole in the clouds, however), and now it is a near whiteout . . .
