More around the area

June 16, 2021

The Green River where we are located is divided into three sections, A, B, and C.  Section A runs seven mile from the spillway of the dam and ends at Little Hole Recreation Area where we are located.  Then section B starts at Little Hole and continues on down for nine miles and ends at Indian Crossing.  The other day, Bonnie and I drove down to Indian Crossing and while it is only nine river miles, it takes about an hour to get there.  Section C starts at Indian Crossing and continues on into Colorado.  Here are some pics of that drive.


Prickly pears are available just about anywhere.  And in different colors.

Although this has a barren and desolate appearance, it also has a unique beauty.


This is looking over the hood of our Jeep on one of the rougher roads going to Indian Crossing.


OBSERVATION:
Like I mentioned in a previous posting, we sell passes into the recreation area from a booth on the way to the parking lot.  We open up when we want and close up when we want.  When we are closed, we have instructions for visitors to pay their day use fee at an unattended, honor system place.  While most people do pay on the honor system, there are some that think if the booth is closed they get in free.  Since that is not the case, I walk the parking areas and write tickets to those who have not paid.  But over time, here is the observation I've made; the higher the value of the vehicle, the less likely that person has paid.  Maybe that is just a coincidence but so far it is holding true.

  1. I love the flowers on the prickly pears! Have you tried any interesting food while out there, or do you mostly cook your own meals?

    1. We haven't tried anything yet we cook all of our own food but sometime in the next couple of weeks we're going to a place that has elk sliders I'll get back to you on how they are

  2. The flowers are beautiful and the fruit is sweet but they can really be nasty with prickles.
    Are you experiencing the heat that we are hearing about. Stay Safe!

  3. Yes it is hot it has consistently been over 90゚ here but I check the humidity and the humidity here is about 8% versus at home which is running about 94%
