Unfortunately, there isn't much new or exciting to report on out here.
The rain stopped and the temperature finally went back up to 80-90 degrees. It's amazing how quickly things do dry out, though, so the sage and grass are getting good and crunchy again. The antelope and moose have been hanging out more and more, while a few people have seen a few elk. Gregg and I actually saw 4 river otters a few days ago,which was pretty cool - never seen one before! And a few people have seen a black/grey WOLF running around. Hope I get to see one!
Gregg is leaving Saturday, while the new fire guy Bart is coming in later that day. Bart will be with me for 2 weeks, but because of how wet the season is, they are sending him home and expecting the fire season here to be pretty much done mid-September. I'll probably spend my last 2 weeks here doing bio tech type work, and Jeff the biologist is probably going to have me help build duck traps and do a little canoeing to set them up.
Over the weekend, Gregg and I hit the BIG CITY of Idaho Falls - made fun of people at the mall, did some shopping, and saw "The Village". Movie was ok but a little disappointing, but I did come home with - a satellite radio! Yes, I indulged and we hooked it up to the engine. Now we be rollin' in style!
I am finally getting some pictures of Red Rock Lakes uploaded and will have other random photos posted, courtesy of Heather.
This weekend, I'm gonna hit the Labor Day Festivities in Dillon with Howard and probably the rest of the population of Lakeview (all 10 of us). Howard says it gets CRAZY, and I'll probably see my first-ever true rodeo. We're gonna tear it up! ;)
