Today was our much anticipated Sublette County Artists Guild Meeting at the Box R. Got on the road about 10:15 and picked Sandy up at her place, picked Judi up at the library in Pinedale and Gina at her house and we drove out past Cora ..... (where they are getting ready to pave the street there!! A whole block long it looks like.) .... and up the Green River Road to Willow Creek then to the remote Box R Ranch.

Lozier's Box R is a historic dude ranch and is over 100 years old, and they have always "outfitted" from there - hunting, fishing and pack trips. Irv greeted us all and visited with us at lunch time. It sounds like he's thinking of retiring, but I'll have to see it to believe it. We had a great turnout. We visited for a while then sat down to a bounteous luncheon. Grilled salmon on a bed of angel hair, several salads and a light dessert. Each dish had a different taste and flavor. We had a fun creative writing exercise. We drew a subject to write on - everyone's was different . For example mine was "What is lighter, a wink or a frown?" You had to give 3 reasons for your choice then everyone read what they had written. Next had the business meeting, then we read our contributions, most on the chosen subject, "Splinters". All the members are just awesome writers. Sandy showed us her pillow lace and explained how it was done. The meeting was one of the most fun I've been to for a while and I think everyone else enjoyed it too.

Joe took off for Pinedale this morning before I did to get more stuff he needed to fix the drain field. He took the dogs with him. It was almost 6 when I got back home and we had leftover roast chicken and dressing from last night for dinner.

Today was quite lovely, cooler and sunny, but tomorrow it's supposed to SNOW!!

Well .....unexpected developments. When I left this morning I was very curious to see several trucks across the creek from our front gate toward the cattle guard. One of the trucks was quite large and had red "stuff" on the trailer. There was also a camper trailer or some kind of box shaped "thing". They were sitting next to the set of corrals where Jensens brand their cattle every spring. I couldn't figure out what they were doing there. So tonight as I drove home and coming in on our road I could see the trucks were still there .....and my gosh..... there was a drilling rig set up, drilling a water well. That is what the red "stuff" was.....the rig. It was already running/drilling. From here it sounds about like a semi truck going by on the highway only it never quits. And they may run it day and night. I suppose the boxy thing is a camper trailer and they will stay right there until the well is finished. I had decided when I saw it that I wanted to ride the ATV over and get a photo, but it got too late tonight, so I'll do it tomorrow. Nobody told me this was going to happen! All of a sudden things change. And a few years ago they had drilled another well about the same distance up the road toward the canyon from the gate. I don't know if it is dry or what. Tonight when I let the dogs out I spotted big lights over there, and the whole rig is lit up like a Christmas tree.
