Very warm today for mid March. It was in the mid 60s. This morning when we were outside Joann got bit by a mosquito. Crazy that they are already out. This afternoon I walked 5 miles up Sandy Wash road. It was toasty, but the breeze sure helped. I only took a few videos, no photos. It was a great walk basking in God’s great outdoors.

Today we decided to take the Defender out for a ride. It was warm, in the upper 50s but we weren’t too hot riding. Unlike previous machines we didn’t overheat. It was totally enjoyable. We roamed all over the Escalante Rim road country. We visited a point above the old Musser ranch that I hadn’t been to since back in February 2020 with the ole silver Tacoma. We also rode down the Rim Rd and over to Escalante Creek. That road sure has a couple gnarly spots. But, the rig handles it fine. Dry Creek was totally dry. Even the main stream wasn’t running that high. We stopped at Taco Time and had supper. What a blessed day.

Today we spent all day putting the doors on the Defender. I did walk a couple miles before we started. After a great supper of burritos we headed up on Kinikin (nothing, not even turkeys) then on to Bostwick. Saw quite a few deer on Bostwick…one small buck still packing antlers. It was warm today in the mid 60s. It’s getting windy every day now…the usual spring thing.
