Last we were in Moab and had a great time. Sure do miss the warm weather. Having missed cold winters for the last couple it is trying to acclimate once again. We are in Boise, Idaho, and the temps for the last week have been below zero to the low 20's during the day. Bitter cold!
After Moab we stopped in Salt Lake to house sit for family. We arrived a few days early so we had some time to visit before they headed off for Turks/Cachous. And I had just purchased a new [for me] mountain bike. Top quality bike that needed some tuning. Since Chris [John's nephew] is a bike fanatic and mechanic he overhauled everything that needed fixing! It runs great and I am a very grateful rider. It's a huge improvement over my last bike. And thank you Dave and Alice for making it available! We had a great week of touring around Salt Lake in a Mustang convertible visiting some old haunts of John's. He grew up there and we were able to connect with some old friends from high school that he hasn't seen since. Great bunch of people! Unfortunately an Uncle of his passed away and so we stayed an extra week for the service. More family arrived, and since everyone was there for Halloween, we built a fire out front, passed out candy with Michael Jackson's Thriller playing in the background.
This pic is of the view from our campsite in Horse Canyon. Not a campground but plenty of places to park off the beaten path. As you can see not a town or dwelling in sight. It is halfway between SLC and Moab so we stayed there on the way to and the way back from Moab.
From Salt Lake we said our goodbyes to everyone and headed for Boise. The snow was on the peaks and everyone was talking about skiing the following weekend. Meaning it was getting cold.
We quickly settled into life in Boise at sister Sue's house. Getting the yard/ gardens cleaned up for winter. And with the grand kids next door there is always something going on. Like piano recitals...
Kai
and hot springs!
But it isn't all fun and games. We are working the odd job: painting, plumbing stuff, small carpentry, massage, etc. We need to get enough to head south to warmer climes for a few months. We will be back in Boise March/April.
Have a Happy and Safe Holiday Season!
The best to you all...
Scott and Johnney
