Yesterday we hiked up on "Johnson Up On Top" a mesa just south of town. One of the original Moab families (the Johnsons) homesteaded on top, and now you know how the mesa was named. The cacti were starting to bloom.
Tonight we took a little jaunt up to the forks of Mill Creek. Everything was blooming and the air smelled so good, perfect temperature and the gnats are not out yet, good time to be out.
The beavers have been busy over the winter and built several very large dams on the creek. It will be interesting to see how long they last with high water. The dams were full of little trout surfacing and eating something that was hatching, we threw a tent caterpillar in and it became dinner pretty quick, which River was not too happy about. I might have to go up with the fly rod this week, just to say I caught a fish in Mill Creek.
