Weekend Storm

We got our most severe storm since we moved here.  At least an inch (probably more) in less than an hour.  It caused some severe erosion along the the driveway that needs to be addressed.

Grand Canyon got some severe flash flooding and it looks like Phantom Ranch will be shut down for a while.

But in the dry times, I got some hikes in and zeroed some pistol optics.

Misc Updates

• Jaya finished her board exams!
• Had a fun Chipper Day
• My potato crop failed - most likely the buckets got too hot

• Pulling lots of weeds
• Getting some decent rain

Another local Jeep trip

We started by stopping by the Forge in Skull Valley for coffee.  Then drove east on Poverty Flat and 9261M.  The latter was very rough and slow going.  We got on Epic Interrupted for a bit then took the shortcut on Deuce Power which was also pretty rough.  We took Smooth Operation back home which had great views.

Great views!

Wedding Weekend

Jaya and Noah decided to have their wedding in Cabo San Lucas.  They chose the JW Marriot as a place where everyone could gather, hang out and celebrate their marriage.  Everything turned out awesome!
