Some of the wildflowers I saw when I went for a ride in the hills a few miles from home two days ago.
We came home Saturday. After emptying the motorhome and dumping the tanks, we put it back in the storage lot until our next adventure. My leg is improving and I'm doing more walking although I am using poles when I go any distance just for the added support. We also drive part way to the river trail to keep the distance manageable. I have a phone consult with my doctor tomorrow and then a visit to physio on Thursday.
I took the General out for a ride in the Burnell Lake area today. I went by myself and while I didn't meet any other ATVers out there, the three lakes were all very busy. Lots of fishermen and quite a number of campers of various sorts. The balsamroot is prime right now and there are several other flowers looking good too. I will post the flowers next time, probably.
Doing some business and visiting friends and family. It's nice to catch up once in a while. We went for a walk down at the wharf last night and I managed to take a few photos. I had an ultrasound on my left leg Monday and it confirmed that I tore my calf muscle. I have a phone consult with my doctor on Tuesday but I have already scheduled an appointment with physio for Thursday.
We spent five nights on the road home from Clifton, CO. Today was a short drive of just 109 kms, just over 68 miles. It was much better to arrive home at 11 am rather than about 5:30 pm if we had continued all the way yesterday. As it was I spent most of the day packing stuff in and doing laundry. Aileen organized and loaded and unloaded at both ends of my route.
We have lots to do here at home for a while. The motorhome needs to be serviced, my geocaches needs maintenance and the house needs to be organized and stuff put away. We plan to take the motorhome up to Salmon Arm in a couple of weeks for a few days. And, it's income tax time.
It was 2,083 kms/1,302 miles from Clifton, CO to home. Since October the motorhome put on 8,388 kms/5,243 miles.
We left Clifton, CO this morning and are spending the night in Helper, UT. Helper was in the center of a lot of coal mining in past times. Its name came from being where helper engines are hooked to the trains to push the coal and freight up Price Canyon and over Soldier Summit toward Salt Lake City. I did a bit of geocaching this afternoon after we got set up in an RV park finding five caches. Being at 5,817 feet it is pretty cool still. Aileen and I went for a walk after supper through part of the old town and picked up another three caches.
