It was the middle of the week before I had a chance to check the weather and head south to the San Rafael Swell for the day, knowing it was at least going to be warmer than where I live in Utah Valley. I took the San Rafael Swell access road near Castle Dale Utah […]
Pastures and Robbers
Between minor fall storms, I managed to find clear days to visit southern Utah. This time I headed back to the Hanksville area and took the Blackburn Wash dirt road heading east just before the Hanksville airport. I drove out to the jeep trail that cut off and headed south to an overlook for Pasture […]
Stair Canyon Closeup
I identified yet another nice fall day to spend in southern Utah and headed south. I headed for Hanksville Utah and took the dirt roads to the southeast to Cedar Point. Just to the south of Cedar Point is the overlook into Stair Canyon. By hiking for about a mile south down the canyon wall, […]
Flying Again
After crashing my drone into the cliffs, I imagined that it would cost me $500 to $800 to have the DJI company put it back together again. However, I found a gentleman living in Tooele Utah that had the correct parts and put it back in flying condition for only $300. He even installed new […]
Crash Report
Today I headed for central Utah so I could find a nice place to fly my drone. I entered a canyon and set up to fly. About 200 feet in the air, the drone began to drift to the west. I manually pulled it back but then it began to slide to the east… FAST! […]
Freedom near Freedom
On Friday, I slipped away for a quick trip to Freedom Utah near Fountain Green. I drove up Maple Canyon to the campground and then backtracked a ways to the mouth of Box Canyon. Box Canyon is hard to see when driving up the road but I found it on the way down the canyon. […]
Mineral Bottoms
This has been a long hot summer with many days hitting 100 degrees. My garden thrived until it was 100 degrees in full sun. I had to put up shade cloth over part of my garden just to save it. Finally, it was September and we had a small cold front pass through that took […]
One Step Forward, One Step Back
The results of my CAT scan were fantastic. Lung and liver tumors were half the size of the previous scan. The stomach cancer was almost gone. The tumors in the colon were less clear. The oncologist was so surprised that he was giddy. He expected some growth since it usually requires multiple chemotherapy treatments before […]
Getting There
My oncologist and his assistant were quite annoyed when I refused the third round of chemotherapy. Instead, I insisted on having another CAT scan followed by a meeting with my oncologist. The CAT scan occurred yesterday, June 25th. The meeting to discuss the results will be on Tuesday. I can tell that the Pau D’arco […]
Time For Tea
The battle with colon cancer continues and I now believe I am getting the upper hand. I attribute most of the progress to the Joe Tippens protocol and very little to the chemotherapy. One of the Fenbendazole blogs on FaceBook mentioned that while using the protocol to fight colon cancer, they literally pooped out their […]
