Sego Lilies 1
Sego Lilies 2This morning Gloria fixed us some spicy fried potatoes with eggs, and toasted cornbread. Jerry came and mowed another section of the hay meadow. It seems the hay is still a little more wet than it should be. We got things cleaned up, Beverly vacuumed, Gloria mopped and I made us a picnic lunch. We took the dogs and drove up to Big Sandy Openings. I guess we were gone about five hours. It was another really nice day weatherwise, although for a while it did cloud up and we got a few little sprinkles.
We saw no real sign of any individuals of the Rainbow Family, but there was still quite a conglomeration of vehicles and camps at the Dutch Joe campground. We went to the Lodge to show that to Gloria. A skinny guy came over to see if we needed help and said he was Ward or Wendell or some "W" name and he was down doing the laundry. Told us just to go ahead and look around. We didn't go inside because they were staining the logs. I didn't want to anyway, but thought Beverly should take Gloria in to look. Beverly took quite a few pictures of the place and the lake, I didn't even want to take pictures, but wished later that I had. We all photographed all the way up and back though.
We went over to the campground. Only a medium number of cars were parked there and very few of the campsites in use. We hadn't seen much traffic on the road either.
Remember when I showed you the pictures of the "Altar Rock" a year or so ago. The theory is that perhaps early Native Americans had balanced very large boulders on some small ones -Or that the glaciers had naturally left them that way. Well I took more pictures of that rock and we found two other smaller ones further back on that rock bluff, stacked exactly the same way, with the one rock underneath pointed east (what I call the front) and the other two rocks underneath at the north side (back) of the boulder. So got photos of those too.
At the Dutch Joe Meadows there were large patches of Sego Lilies blooming. They are so beautiful so I had to get out and admire them. And got the photo of the cattle there.
We got back home in time to heat up some leftovers for dinner. Then looked at old family photographs and discussed who was who and whether we could recognize any of them in other photos or not. Lots of discussion on family history. Crashed into bed and because the TV is still broken, tried to watch "Tootsie" again. I keep missing parts by falling asleep in it, so start it over. Still haven't seen it all. Another few times and I should know it by heart.
