We got another Westwater trip in before the kids went back to school. It was the Fourth Annual Meat fest and many species were upon the grill. We are thinking that we may have to rename it the Annual Westwater Harvest fest to be more inclusive and less gluttonous, maybe not. We did have eggs from Todd/Ashlis chickens, salsa verde made by Mom, Pepper, Tomatoes and other produce from the garden, cheese from Erics goats (Castle Valley Creamery) and live music (Ashli on guitar,Colin on ukelele, and Jeff on flute). Good Trip.

I took the boys and some of the scouts down to some remote ruins on Elk Ridge. I was a little hesitant to take the scouts to such a pristine and remote site, but they did great and were very respectful. It may have been that I told them I would throw them off the cliff and that they would forever be haunted by the spirits if they broke anything, but it worked. Camped on Elk Ride the night before we hiked into the canyon and elk are in full swing. The bulls were bugling all night.

The last big monsoon storm that came through just happened to center right on Mill Creek where we were hiking. Lots of waterfalls.
On Labor Day we went an floated a stretch of river I had not been on before. We put in at Dewey Bridge and floated down to Hittle Bottom. We hiked up Bull Canyon and played in the potholes.
