We woke up on on day two of the Capitol Reef visit to snow on the tent. This did little to encourage expediency in getting on with doing things. We violated the safety and wildlife rules of camping and proceeded to pull out the stove and make oatmeal in the… Continue reading
[singlepic id=2112 w=240 float=left] Having completed most everything we could do in Zion short of the hikes that require permits, such as the Narrows and Subway. Our next destination was Capitol Reef. It was relatively close, something new, and sounded like there might be some interesting hikes there. It’s not… Continue reading
[singlepic id=2036 w=240 float=left] Clearly, a smart person would have categorized this entire trip as being to Zion with some side hikes.

[singlepic id=1924 w=640] Background I needed to replace a very very old electric tank water heater before the bottom fell out and flooded my basement. I wanted to switch to gas for cost reasons. I didn’t want to install it close enough to the chimney, which is far from… Continue reading
So, to wrap up my endeavor from 2015, here’s the full gallery of thumbnails sorted in reverse chronological order.
[singlepic id=1927 w=480 float=left] Makeup picture #4. I don’t even remember the name of this town. We stopped there on the return trip from our Rhine river tour. I figured since I started this whole daily photo thing with one of the first ‘good’ pictures I took, I’ll end it… Continue reading
