My Life and Travels
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.

Great hike 6 miles and I’m tired.

Looking forward to a great weekend.
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.

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.
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.
