Fire on the Mountain
“Success is not the result of spontaneous combustion. You must first set yourself on fire.”

This shot was taken just moments before the sun disappeared for the day and I was able to capture just a spot of the fire on the rocks. The sheep, of course, were hanging out in the shade.
Yeah! I just poked my head outside and there is snow on the higher peaks! This time ordeal has me discombobulated - woke up at 4:30, worrying about how many gigs I have used on MiFi (2.9 out of 5, 13 days into 31 - I am good with that because it has been used just like at home and Verizon has a 10 gig plan, which means that there would be no worries about over usage. And worried about where I am headed to next. Actually, more concerned about how much it will cost to get there. Was headed to the Bosque for two weeks, and still might go, but gas one way would be around $160 and then RV space would be about the same weekly rate as some private parks around here - though there are some that are mighty pricey. So, I might stay close to Zion and recoup some of my funds before moving on. At the end of November I can move back into the park for a month and that would really help with cutting costs. Still working on the volunteer possibilities. Searching for and applying for the positions is time consuming but I am beginning to get the hang of it.
I keep trying to look out of my windows but I put that foil insulation stuff that comes in a roll over them at night and it really cuts down on the cold drafts. During the day I uncover the window next to the computer so that I can be nosey and watch the comings and goings of the campground, which is quite empty right now. My neighbors move out today and I will sure miss them. Well, usually I am out shooting during the day. Oh, and in case you were wondering, that insulation blocks out the cell and wifi signals - pretty cool, huh? Yep, definite shower and laundry day.
Almost forgot the blog - yesterday was rainy and so I spent the day catching up on a number of things and was able to fit in a new blog post, check it out.
