June 27, 2022 I took the plunge this week and went to a new unknown hairdresser and it really didn’t turn out bad. I’m always impressed when they are able to keep the bleached part and dark part separated. So what if I had to drive over an hour to find a salon. It was a pretty drive! I could get used to life out here... Now that my mother’s visit is over I am settling in to normal life here and realizing that I want to build more of a community for myself and the others work camping here. I have ideas. First,…

June 6, 2022 We started out this week going to Devil’s Garden which is a BLM day use area just outside of Escalante, Utah down Hole in the Rock road. The road was fairly easy to travel and there is no hiking required to see the rock formations there so it was an easy activity while I was still recovering. The landscapes out here are often described as being Mars-like. Can you see why? Later that night, we went back to the same spot for the meteor shower and to take Milky Way photos. Luke captured a fantastic time lapse video…
