Two nights ago rain fell and the temp dropped below freezing. Yesterday was another wet trail day to just hang around. I found a dinner recipe then bought necessary groceries then headed out to Beaverhead. Upon arrival a car was parked back at my preferred spot. I parked down below then walked the road system on the other side of the road. I can drive to the tank and no further as the road is deeply gullied. When I returned to my van the car was gone. I drove up to my spot. When Tim was here he manhandled a heavy rock to drive his left front wheel of his Sprinter to level it out. I have been dodging the rock. Today I verified that is was too heavy for me to move. A monument in my parking lot. I read a bit of Farewell to arms before dinner.
During the night my body temperature regulating system sends confused signals like hot flashes even when the heat is turned was down, I slip off the second down blanket layer to chill, but sometime later I chill enough to wrestle the layer back on. Sunrise is around 7:30.
Today I drove up to west Sedona to do laundry on my normally scheduled Thursday chore. Clean clothes. I hung a scant 2 sets of riding gear for the past week.
Sunshine and warmth called me for a ride in the Carrol Canyon drainage basin. From Old Post I connected to a new trail Skywalker that replaces Bike Path. I rode over what I helped bring to reality. Trails are narrow sometimes on steep side hill, almost all red rock, some anchored in easy or challenging faces, the rest red rock rubble. Takes a skill set I am reconnecting with. Sketch has been helped solving several sustainable issues but the cure eradicated the challenges. Oh well. 10 miles of sunshine and rock. Still walk pieces.
A shower at Snap beside the movie theater cleaned me for the 7:00 showing of Hateful 8 which is what I need to get to. Going to stay tonight out off 89B road arriving after dark.
Steve, thanks for concern of bad gasses causing my head ache. My furnace is under the van that is a heat exchanger so no gasses enter the van.
Tomorrow is a PT session for my shoulder, neck, and hip. I’ll ride out here before treatment.
