My last blog update I was at the Elks Lodge in Provo Utah. They are awesome people there!! They supported me through a very stressful time (family emergency). I made lifetime friends there and they are like family to me. 

I managed to get a hike at bridal veil falls in. It was a beautiful day and a great hike. Pics below...

My last weekend there we had a small smoked bbq in the parking lot, and then as hard as it was to do, I had to leave and start heading south to find my winter spot. Pics below......

Bridal Veil Falls

So pretty with the fall colors

These guys were putting up a retaining fence on the side of the mountain, it was crazy to watch! Zoom in on the picture, the guys are a ways above lift! And rocks were falling as they worked.

We shucked a bunch of oysters! Smoked some too on the smoker! Yummy!

Played pigs (haven't played this in many years) this is the senior edition, so you can see the pigs!! Haha!!

After I left Provo I headed to Fishlake National Forest. I needed some time to unwind, de-stress, relax. I found an awesome place tucked away off a gravel road. I went on a few nice hikes. One was to a historical ranger station, it was pretty cool....

This was my view from my door!

This was the view from the other side of my trailer

My camp spot...the propane bottle goes to a heater inside....when the sun went down temps dropped! In the mornings it was in the 20's or low 30's and then would warm up to low 70's perfect weather!!

One of my hikes, trail followed a creek that went up and up and up!

View from way up top! Pic doesn't do it justice.

The following pics are the historical ranger station....

This was their refrigerator....

                                        

                                        

This is where their house was.

This was another hike way up.....

This is zoomed in, that's my trailer down there :-)

On my last night there some people pulled in next to me. When I saw the people I thought, hey I know them!! They are some friends from Colorado heading to Salton City, Beth and Eric! What a small world being in the middle of nowhere and running into people you know!!

After a week there I hit the road to St. George Utah to scout out a winter spot. I stayed at the Elks Lodge there. I went the next day and checked out several campgrounds. The one I had my eye on was unfortunately a dump!! And the rest weren't much better. The nicer ones were all full and expensive. I was very disappointed to say the least. So back to the drawing board to find another place.

I spent most of the day trying to find something in other nearby towns, but everything was already full. I finally stumbled onto a place in Pahrump Nv. They are first come first serve. So I high-tailed it down there the next morning and I actually got a spot!!

Pahrump is 1 hour from Vegas, Red Rock, Death Valley....weather is pretty good too. I am hoping to stay here for a few months. 

I will be taking it easy and doing some exploring. Stay tuned for my next update!

Stay well everybody!!
