goin' RV Boondocking

Re-scouted a camp location yesterday... about 8 miles west of where we've been parked. It's a location with some pros and some cons.

First, and I guess the prime consideration is it's beauty...

It isn't lacking in being a pretty place.

There are really, only two problems with it, the first being access. Though it sits right alongside a well maintained Forest Service road, the meadow itself is still pretty wet from the recent storms.

The next few days of weather prognostication says it should be pretty sunny... and that ground should firm up quick...

... but...

The Forest Service takes a dim view of vehicles cutting the ground up bad, 'cause the drivers just couldn't wait for the land to dry off a bit... and I can't argue with 'em... it's gonna take another few days for this to dry up enough...

Torques me off to, when you go into a nice area, and it's been all cut to ribbons by 4X4's with brain dead idiots behind the wheel...

The second issue with this particular camp... is more of a personal problem... the cell service is weak. :)

But... there does seem to be a reasonable solution... just behind where I was standing to take this pic... of our wished for camp... is a spot... about two hundred yards or so closer back toward the pavement... that has a rockier base... and is drained and firm enough to pull in on... with about the same signal available...

So... it looks like, later today, we're gonna warm up the wheels and move on over there for a few days or a week or so...

As for dealing with bad signal? That's something I'm gonna have to work on finding a decent balance on... Though a fella that wants to keep his "show on the road", and needs some communication access to do that... has to "Take care of business"... getting all fevered up over cell/internet service can't be a good thing either... so... I'll try to just keep an eye on things and try to keep the "obsession" under control... :) and maybe I'll be fortunate enough that my cell amp will do a decent enough job on the poor reception there to keep me working!

On the way back from that scout, we were passing that lil' lake where we took the pictures of the snow on the fence and such that first day we pulled into this area.

The Utah Wildlife/fisheries guys were doin' their job... so we stopped to watch for the lil' while it took 'em.

We'd stopped earlier... on our way out to take another look at this lil' lake... Good size fish were jumping clean out of the water...

I'd guess those were well over a foot long...

These fellas were dropping in 600 more Rainbows, in the range of 10".

If you look close... you can see a couple just coming out of the spout of the Pipe... that last one looks to be working as hard as it can to stay in the tank! :)

Don't look like there'll be any shortage of pan sized fish in this lil' pond. They said they were gonna be bringing another load over in the next few days too!

Well... if I'm gonna be moving camp... I better get after it... and a nice day to move too... A bright Blue sky... Maybe I can leave the generator off today! :)
