Escalante, UT - 1st Week - Work and Posey Lake

Every morning and evening, Tucson and I walk the town

 The visitor's center - though it is closed due to Covid 19

Row of shops but all look empty

or have a museum setting

They guys always make a ruckus when they see Tucson

 We walk as far as the Cowboy Motel on the other side of town

We put in 12 hours a week at the B&B.  We have settled into a daily schedule

of working 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.

Gary does some shrub installations

and while the owners were away on an overnight backpack trip, Gary painted the concrete floor in the Laundry Room

Looks good!  The owners were very happy with it.

I got to water the gardens and do some flower planting

 

Moqui  the resident Cat keeps an eye one me.
She's much happier since there have been guests coming back.

For a break, we drove the Pine Creek Scenic Byway

up to Posey Lake - a 17 mile trip on dirt road.

 Tucson liked the drive because we could only do about 15 mph so he could enjoy the sites.

 We passed some horses - horsing around.

 It's a well packed gravel road

 With beautiful views

Oops the sign says Posey Lake Campground is impassable.  

Guess we will go as far as we can.

 Still looks good

 A snow pole marking the trail for snowmobiles doesn't  bode well

 As we get further up there is still some snow around.  It was 80's when we left Escalante, it is 68 up here.

 We even find enough snow for Tucson to play in

 We make it to the Campground

 The Lake is still partially frozen - Tucson dips his paws in and decides not to go for a swim.

Gary checks out the Camp Host site

We continue on - until we can't

Time  to turn around and head  home.  Will definitely continue on this road once the snow melts.
