Neighbor Bob is coming

Tomorrow neighbor Bob will show up at Lake Roosevelt for the grand tour.  With the snow at the higher elevations showing him some of the good stuff may be hard. Yesterday Kadizzle thought he would ride the ebike up to Oak Flat.  The snow made the whole trip impossible .  A waterfall was the goal, but the snow and the bike were not compatible. Kadizzle was going to walk the last half mile or so, but the stream did not seem to be running hard enough to make the wet jog to the little waterfall.  The bike turned around and headed back for a pleasant ride to the truck. 

The snow on the mountains on a bright sunny day gave the whole area a nice different look.  Back in the back country it was so quiet.  For a short time Kadizzle thought there was something wrong. Not a single jet was in the sky.  This near Phoenix there are always jets overhead.  Kadizzle began to think about Zion.  A man wrote in the log in Zion the day 9/11 occurred.  He was hiking and realized when he came back there were no jets in the sky.  Kadizzle started to wonder if something terrible had happened, but soon that was dispelled a jet was seeking altitude from Phoenix.

The snow is hampering our trail crew.  Today we were going to put up a wilderness sign, but logic indicated there would be snow on the tail so that mission was cancelled. Perhaps Kadizzle will work in the canal trail toady.
