Sorry, had a week or more of hiding. Actually, it was more an Internet connection in hiding.
Anyway, a quick post today from Hatch, Utah. But the pictures are from Cottonwood Cove, NV (where I should have had the sense to realize we were headed to a "dry state" and any wine should have been purchased BEFORE crossing the state line.) You can buy it if you can find it! St. George had one package store for 50,000 people.
The Colorado River in Cottonwood Cove was amazingly clear and the carp liked to hang out at one of the docks. Just like the carp that reside in some of the touristy places in Myrtle Beach they wait to be fed. At Barefoot Landing in Myrtle Beach there are those machines dispensing pelletized food (like at the deer-petting resorts) so tourists can enjoy the feeding frenzy. At Cottonwood Cove you just bring out your stale anything and the fish go nuts. Above was taken upon my approach.
This is after tossing in a handful of stale frosted flakes. I was laughing so hard it was hard to keep the camera from falling in. Mamas, hang on to your babies! Of course, I continued to toss handful after handful which was pretty much dust and sugar by the time I got to the bottom of the bag. They were so thick fighting to get a tiny morsel that the ducks were walking on top of the carp to get their share! Pretty gross - but obviously it didn't deter me!
I promise to post more later now that the satellite is up. We are headed out on the bike maybe through Bryce Canyon.
Thinking of you all,
Jody

hola,
Oh my, that was a bit shocking, the carp are a bit gross to say the least. I'm wondering.....what do they eat when no one feeds them? Thanks for the update,
as always,
your mom
