Here Kitty,Kitty

This week Victoria and I have been doing some cleaning and inventorying for the rangers. This is not a lot of fun but not really very hard. It is part of what is required for us to earn our keep. So we have gone at it and gotten it done.

We have also gone on a few more hikes and field trips with the rangers. This is more enjoyable as we are outside and enjoying the weather. We have had great weather all week. There has been only light wind and the temps have been in the 70’s. It is a little warm in the sun but all and all not bad. I even got a short bike ride in.

We went for a walk the other night down to the marina. It was a perfect night. The wind was still, the water was flat and the sky was lit up with stars. This is a big marina and the docks extent out into the water a long ways. We walked along the lighted dock enjoying the cool night air and checking out all the boats.

As we walked Victoria said, “Oh look a kitty. Here Kitty, kitty “. I said, “That sure looked like one big cat to me. I don’t think that is a cat, maybe a dog. No, it’s a raccoon”. We had a good laugh thinking about the TV commercial where the woman is calling in her cat and let’s a raccoon in her house because she can’t see well.

The coons live under the floating docks in the framing. As we walked closer they would scurry into opening in the deck and hide in the framing. Just after we passed by they would reemerge and go about their business.

So it has been a fairly busy but uneventful week here at Lake Mohave. We are enjoying our time here and keeping track of the weather as we move closer to our tentative departure date for Jackson Hole.

We have plans for some fun this weekend so keep watching for our future posts
