as you can see i'm in the forest among the pines good morning from dixie national forest it feels
so good to be in the trees again as much as i loved my campsite down at escalante where i spent
a couple of weeks it was really dusty really windy it was it was comical watching me try to keep the
dust under control inside this trailer it was impossible it was just a loss to cause really
but man ugh i just love these trees i love being among the trees i got into camp last night and uh
i'm just taking it easy this morning just a slow easy morning relaxing enjoying the
scenery my surroundings i'm going to get some breakfast going i need groceries in the worst way
as you can see i have one orange in my fruit hammock back there but i think i have enough food
to scrape together a nice breakfast and possibly a fun dinner the old standby a fried egg sandwich
i've mentioned it before that the mattress that came with this trailer is very cheap
and uncomfortable very firm i don't like firm mattresses so i bought this guy here
to put on top of the mattress and we'll see if that helps it's a three inch memory
foam topper so i'm going to put it on today and we'll see how i sleep tonight
okay i've got it on there now i just need to let it recover for several hours hopefully
this will help while my mattress is fluffing up i thought i might try to go do a short hike
as i mentioned i'm in the dixie national forest which is very near at least this part that i'm in
is very near bryce canyon national park i don't know that i'll go into bryce is a hike outside
of bryce that i might want to do i'll just go check it out and gauge the crowds it is a weekend
it's a saturday so it could be very crowded but i'll try and we'll see what happens
first time visitors to bryce canyon national park might assume it's just red rock and hoodoos
however sitting at about 9000 feet in elevation it's also mountain meadows pine trees and wildlife
you can also find amazing views for days inside the park
i wonder what the first people who discovered this place must have thought when they
came through those pine trees and saw this enormous canyon lie on the other side
water and wind over millions of years of freezes and thaws
have carved into the plateau endless fields of distinctive red rock pillars called hoodoos
so
i'm so glad i decided to take a gamble and head over to bryce canyon national park the crowds were
very low late in the afternoon on the hike it was absolutely beautiful the lighting was spectacular
yeah that was a good decision i got to see a little wildlife some prairie dogs and pronghorn
antelope and a meadow it's just amazing to me that you have all these beautiful pine trees and
aspen and meadows you would never know that lying through those trees is this
huge canyon and the geography completely changes it's just incredible i definitely recommend you
see bryce canyon national park if you have not i'm going to go ahead and make a quick dinner
some pasta with chicken i checked and i have all the ingredients to make this before going to get
groceries so that's what's for dinner tonight here are all my ingredients for this dish
right now i'm sauteing a little olive oil and butter
and the chicken will go in along with some seasonings
just added in the chicken which i've already sliced
put in some fresh ground pepper some salt some italian seasoning
okay now we are going to transfer this chicken to a plate
now we add the onions just kick them till they're translucent
i'm going to add garlic
smells good in here i'm adding two and a half cups of the chicken broth diced tomatoes one can
pan is really full
we're gonna add the chicken back
crushed red pepper flakes i obviously need a much bigger pan okay now that it's come
to a boil we are going to cover it reduce the heat and simmer for about 15 minutes
okay it's ready for the final ingredients which is a half a cup of half and half
and one cup of mozzarella which i will stir in
dinner was a hit if i do say so myself
it was really yummy i've got the dishes all done and i need to get my bed made
before it gets too late it's going to be dark soon i did lay on it when i got back from the hike and
on initial lay down i can say that it's probably going to be a huge improvement i have high hopes
i am going to go ahead and end this video here i hope that you enjoyed spending the day with me
