Today for the first time I witnessed the result of the lake poisoning we have been doing this summer. Along the edge of the lake dead fish floated to the surface and many more were decomposing at the bottom of the lake. It is estimated that around 30,000 fish were killed in this project, but...

Plenty of pumpkins
Pumpkin season is upon us here in the USA. Where I am staying the family has grown and harvested numerous pumpkins. The weather conditions are not the best for gardening - it is dry, very hot during the day and very cold at night. Nonetheless, the garden here is a success. We have been enjoying...

Jackson hot springs review
The Jackson hot springs are part of a lovely resort built from wood. The inside is covered in stuffed taxidermy. There is a well kitted out bar, pool table and selection of food. The changing rooms are clean and much better than the Norris and Elk horn changing rooms. The hot spring itself is outside... Continue Reading →

Gun, Gifts, Toys and Souvenirs
The first shop I noticed when arriving in Dillon over two months ago was the Gun, Gifts, Toys and Souvenir shop. It has a wooden exterior and a name which strikes me as both comical and terrifying at the same time. These items being sold alongside each other is most bizarre. Following this, I saw...

Shall I stick to my day job?
Just trying out some new career options. Maybe I should start a fitness YouTube channel. It could be quiet fun. https://youtu.be/lffsPJkrMhM However, not really sure I have the stamina for it. Think I'll stick to hydrology for now. Studying rivers is more my thing.
Martian
The one and only cinema in Dillon was showing Martian today, so we went along to see it. For Dillon, I was pleasantly surprised that their cinema was up to scratch even if it was too old fashioned to use tickets. The theatre was a respectable size and the audio and screen quality were good... Continue Reading →
Road trip
So far this weekend we have been chilling in and around Dillon. We have had some mini Road trips, which have been a blast. There are no clubs in Dillon and we have missed dancing so decided to convert the truck into a party booth. https://youtu.be/N2h-BMJw5-Y We stopped off in a pretty neat spot -... Continue Reading →
