The wind has kicked up and just won’t settle.  13 mph seems manageable but there are just no sheltered coves to hide in this long narrow lake and it drives us in two days in a row.  No more fish caught and too rough to float and soak in the peace and quiet.  We chill a couple more days then tomorrow we head out to points east and north with the ultimate destination Zion and Bears Ears National Monument.  Kent wakes early so we get an early start.  Good thing since we have to load up the boat and deliver the big trailer to storage plus it is our first attempt to tow the new truck.  Firsts are nearly always time consuming.

Trailer connected.  Boat loaded.  Trailer dropped at storage – quiet the feat to get it in the covered spot!  Now for the truck hookup: there is lots of double checking and we even have the owners’ manual out.  We got it.  10:30 AM and we are on our way.
