Trying to make lemons into lemonade

Since I was stuck in Alpine for a couple of days, and since Alpine had a huge monsoon a couple of days ago, I went to Alpine Creek, which runs through Kokernot Park, looking for interesting odes yesterday, and again today. It's fun but I don't find much of interest.

Soon the water will be all but gone, but I plan to visit whenever I'm in town in the meantime.

Mac is leaving this weekend. I've become so dependent on him taking care of the oasis when I'm in town that it's going to leave a big void. He plans to return again next year. Hope it works out. Life is so short and unpredictable.
