Will Work For Fish

Scofield Reservoir RainbowI'm hoping to take the boat up to Scofield for a little fishing tomorrow - I'll go if the weather isn't too bad.

If it is windy I'll leave the boat home and fish a stream somewhere - probably take the fly rod over to the Middle Provo. Unless it is pouring rain - then I'll stay home.

A storm is coming in and it will end what as been a streak of remarkably nice weather.

Sadly, I've been stuck in the office, not out enjoying the sunshine. This was been a busy week. On top of normal work activities, I built this completely new website: homesweethomeutah.org/. Created the design, programmed the pages and posted the text and photos in just two days. It is good info, if you know anyone who needs help buying a home.

I also created this flyer webbstuf.com/tm/zoo-10-30-08.htm supporting Hogle Zoo's efforts to secure more funding. They game me a list of about 18,000 email addresses and I used our special email server to send the flyer to them. Another good cause.

So I'll fish somewhere close to home this weekend, and relax a bit.

Temperatures will be markedly cooler next week - our Indian summer is probably over. But we will yet have mild days that are ideal for hiking the dry desert country.

I would really like to get in two more adventure hikes before winter really sets in. I hope to hike to the top of Notch Peak, in the west desert, and to Kolob Arch in Zion Park. The Kolob hike requires some minor wading but that shouldn't be too bad if I watch the weather.

November looks busy - I'll have to fight to keep stuff from infringing on my hiking and fishing time.
