Day 1

I've decided that this will take the form of a sort of diary of our (my wife, the cats, the dog and my) travels over the next few months. My intent is that I will update it every day. Of course, we all know where the road paved with intentions leads.

Today we left Richland OR after a week of hunting. The hunting was great, with lots of birds. The important part was how the dog did. She did wonderful on retrieves, but not so good on finding birds and pointing.

Today was a travel day. Back to Baker City and then east on I84 to Snowville, UT. That's a distance of about 400 miles. 400 miles is about as far as I like to to drive in a day. The campground here is the only one I've ever been at that has a driving range. I hit a bucket of balls and then had dinner. Then I set up this blog and made the first entries.

Opening day of the deer season is tomorrow, so there are a lot of people here with ATV's who plan on being up early tomorrow. We'll probably get up about 7 to be on the road by 8. We have 320 miles to make to Moab. Snowville consists of two restaurants, a gas station, a post office, and a few houses. Nothing much going on. The area around it town is flat - the northern end of the Salt Lake Basin. It's a part of Utah that you want to get through ASAP.
