Little Creek, Utah

Not many posts in this blog during May. I guess we've been too busy at The Homestead. Actually, we've spent a fair number of days poking around in the local canyons—First and Second Left Hand near Parowan, and Red Creek and Little Creek near Paragonah. Yesterday, Ellen and I went up Little Creek and tried to circumnavigate Iron Peak. The road was pretty rough and it was slow going. The Chev didn't much like it and Ellen was tired of sitting there. So we turned back and found a place where we could skitter down to the creek. We also found a Pituophis catenifer deserticola, a Great Basin Gopher Snake.
