Ode to Bluff, UT May 30

We left our Cadillac RV park in Bluff, UT today. Very nice little place. Bluff is a great base for seeing a number of highlights, but the town, such as it is, is very small. 1 gas station w/convenience store, a laudromat, a coffee shop, a motel, a post office, an elementary school, 2 rv parks and 3 restaurants. All in a valley surrounded by walls of rock. Cell coverage, forget it; but, we had a very nice time. Very nice owners, they almost had a zoo of animals; pictures follow. Marlene feeding the ducks; don't know their names, but they did enjoy the bread.

Marlene feeding Elvis, one of two emus at the RV park. Elvira not pictured. The owner said someone gave them to her and once she gets an animal, that's it. Emus are much friendlier than ostriches, according to her.

Marlene feeding the two female mules; the male one, Noah (not pictured), makes quite the racket and is separated from the females. Saw one of the horses dragging Noah around by the neck in circles. Asked the owner what the story was. She said Noah irritates the horses a lot, until they can't take it any more, then they start dragging him around. Doesn't seem to stop him. Sounds like some people I know.

Rainbow greeted us on our second day; sign of good things to come
