The subject of today’s photos is a pleasant, streamside boondock on a spur road off Louis Lake Road in Shoshone National Forest near Atlantic City, Wyoming.
On the way to Slate Creek Camp from Lander, Route 28 passes Red Canyon Overlook (below).
The boondock is not far from historic South Pass and high enough to provide cool air in summer.
Autumn arrives early at this elevation. In September 2014, Bridget and I camp here for one night. Day temperatures are comfortable and we wake to a brisk morning.

Reggie and Roger (my present canine crew) and I are off the road while we prepare for my sister, Nancy, and her dog, Marg, to join us in August. They will become our permanent housemates at our recently purchased home in southern Arizona. Boondocking will resume sometime in the future.
Monday, July 23 in Arizona
Mike the roofer comes by today. Instead of working on the roof in the intense heat which would be madness, he measures, cuts, and inserts new panels in our skylights. (The house didn’t have any panels when we purchased it.)
The panels, although transparent, have a texture that deflects the light and holds some of the heat out of the dining and kitchen area.
I didn’t ask Mike to do this. It’s something he wants to do for us.
“This is my housewarming gift for you and Nancy,” he explains.
They’re pretty!
High temperatures in southern Arizona yesterday were around the 108 degree mark.
Today is a hot one, too.
Between the time I spend talking with Mike and painting around the windows and floor moulding in my bedroom, it’s noon before I drive into town to buy a few groceries and to exchange DVDs at the library.
Without air conditioning in the Perfect Tow Vehicle, I rely on rushing air through open windows and sips from a bottle of drinking water.
I complete my errands quickly and hurry home.
As soon as I finish putting the groceries away, Reg and Rog sit at my feet to share a late lunch of warm rotisserie chicken with me.
That sets us up for a nice afternoon nap in our cool house. A while later a knock on the front door wakes us up. I rush to the door and find a box on the porch. A Fed Ex truck is pulling out of the driveway.
Our new weedeater!
When I finish this post, I’ll go offline, pop a DVD in the tv, push back in my lounger, and watch Harrison Ford in “Six Days Seven Nights.” If it’s not to my liking, I have a stack of nine other choices.
Tomorrow morning I’ll remove the weedeater from the box and take it for a spin around the yard.
