Up Early

The sun has not yet shown it's face and the Kadizzles are up with the morning coffee.  We went straight to work cloths and skipped the fuzzies.  Usually we make the transition from sweatpants to blue jeans slowly.  It is cold for AZ, a little below 38.  Both electric heaters are humming. The Commander says she refuses go work if it does not get warm. What a wonderful life when you have a job that lets you refuse to work at will. The only bad part is there is no pay.  However, free sewage is a hard deal to beat especially when you throw in the water and heat.

The plan is to hike up the mountain and finish the Chillicut trail.  There is still some brush that needs a haircut.  Many speculate that the number of people on the road in RVs is related to the price of gas.  This year gas is down and still the RV crowd is missing.  The Canadians have not migrated south.  This must mean it is warm in Canada or they are so happy with their new liberal leader.  Kadizzle has decided to create a blog to go with our trail work.  The idea is to provide people with information who want to hike in the Lake Roosevelt area.  So if you are so totally bored that you are reading this, go one step farther and go to the Uhike blog.  It can be found at uhike.blogspot.com.   The blog will only deal with what we are doing on the trails.  In order to get the blog to move up to where people can find it we need hits.  So drop by.  Hopefully we can get some pictures today.

We met a nice woman at the Tonto National Monument cliff dwellings yesterday. We had a long talk about hiking and the ruins up Cherry Creek.  Later we may get an expedition together to go up there again.  A very nice retired couple is working in the sign shop here and we are recruiting them to be host in one of the area parks in North Dakota.  Every year we meet so many nice people.  The world is not a scary place unless you listen to Donald Trump and watch Fox News.
