Arriving in Sun Valley



Yesterday we got up early for the flight to Sun Valley. Left the house at 7am and arrived here at 12:45pm--it's amazing that you can cross the country in about the same amount of time (or less) that it takes to get to Vermont. Suzy and Jimmy have the same great house and we settled into "our" bedroom with great enthusiasm.

It's unusually wet here (seems like it's that way everywhere but Atlanta), so there are wildflowers even in August, which is very unusual. There is a lot of damage from last year's fires and there is also a beetle infestation that is killing large swathes of trees.

Took a short hike yesterday and Alan is off fishing this morning at Silver Creek. Unfortunately, we discovered on packing for this trip that a whole bunch of reels and rods had been stolen from our fishing bag on our trip back from Vermont -- likely in Burlington when we had the delay. Really a bummer as the equipment isn't replaceable.
