Watery Wed/Wolverton Mill

Hanksville Utah
Wikipedia information:

Hanksville is a small town in Wayne County, Utah, United States, at the junction of State Routes 24 and 95. The town is just south of the confluence of the Fremont River and Muddy Creek, which together form the Dirty Devil River, which then flows southeast to the Colorado River. Its population was estimated at 203 in 2006.^[1]

The town was settled in 1882, and known for a time for the name given to the surrounding area, Graves Valley. It took the name of Hanksville in 1885, after Ebenezer Hanks, who was the leader of the group of pioneers who established the small Mormon settlement.^{[citation needed]} It was not incorporated until January 6, 1999.^[2]

The REA brought electricity to the community in 1960. Today agriculture, mining, and tourism are the main drivers to the local economy. Tourism is particularly important with people coming for recreation at Lake Powell, Capitol Reef National Park, the Henry Mountains, the San Rafael Swell, Goblin Valley State Park, and the solitude of the surrounding deserts and slot canyons.

Hanksville was a supply post for Butch Cassidy and the Wild Bunch, who would hide out at Robbers Roost in the desert southeast of town.

During the uranium mining frenzy following World War II, Hanksville became a supply center for the prospectors and miners scouring the deserts of the Colorado Plateau. Many abandoned mines can be found in the deserts surrounding the town.

The Hanksville-Burpee Quarry is located nearby and the Mars Desert Research Station is located seven miles northwest of town.

This is My World/ Salt Anyone?

If you would like information of the races being held here, check out there website here

The salt flats' potential for racing was first recognized in 1896 by W.D. Rishel who was scouting a bicycle race course from New York to San Francisco. Rishel returned and convinced daredevil Teddy Tezlaff to attempt an automobile speed record on the flats. Tezlaff drove a Blitzen Benz 141.73 m.p.h. to set an unofficial record in 1914.

The salt flats drew international attention in the 1930's when Utah driver Ab Jenkins lured British racer Sir Malcolm Campbell to compete for speed records on the salt surface.

By 1949, the raceway on the Bonneville Salt Flats was the standard course for world land speed records. On this natural straightaway the 300, 400, 500, and 600 mile per hour land speed barriers were broken.

In the 1960's, jet powered vehicles and names like Craig Breedlove (600.6 mph) and Art Arfons (576.55 mph) captured the imagination of millions. In 1970, Gary Gabolich's rocket car, "Blue Flame", attained a spectacular 622.4 miles per hour.

Since the first speed record attempts in 1914, hundreds of records have been set and broken in a variety of automotive and motorcycle classes.

We walked to the top of the lookout and we could see for miles and miles, that is our rig sitting down there.

The wind was blowing so hard, can you see Princess's hair ? she got her hair all messed up from the wind. But she sure did like it.

That is a lot of salt

Camera Critters/Road Congestion?

Day 2 Diamond Craters
As we left the round barn we stopped to see the Diamond Craters, Alice was much better today and riding like a trooper also had a few things to say about being able to ride on my lap instead of the dreaded cage.

Nevada standing on top of one of the Craters looking down, i had thongs on and so the walking on that lava was not all that appealing.Please go to the link above and read about this crater.

So in the distance we saw what looked like smoke but as we got closer it was a roundup, the lazy mans way of rounding up cattle. I think it would of been much funner to use a horse to round the cattle up.

So for 3 or 4 miles we had to drive behind these critters while they made there way to better pasture.

Vacation Time

Well i know i havn't been on here much for a few months. But hope to get back on here very soon. With all the baby kittens i have fostered this summer, i think things are slowing down some. But also think this will be my last time of fostering. Yes i have accumulated a few doing this, which is not a good thing, as i sure didn't need anymore cats, but they have turned out to be special kittens that i just don't have the heart to let go of. Oh well what is one more mouth to feed right? Well actually there is 3 more mouths to feed.

This is Freckles he is a special needs kitty, he will only eat canned food, no matter how much i have left him go hungry he will only eat the can food. Great kitten, i would let him be adopted but only if someone was willing to feed him canned food.

Here is Brooster and Alice, Brooster being the smaller one, I got her when she was only a day old, cold and frail she was found by someone at a trailer court and he didn't know what to do with her, well she is well and healthy and spoiled rotten, being 6 weeks old now she still isn't eating on her own, still wants a bottle and to be fed out of a syringe with chicken baby food, darn if she don't eat the whole jar now. Alice the bigger black kitty is very special to me as i had her when she was only 16 days old along with 4 other siblings who all died. She is so sweet and loving, absolutely loves to be cuddled . She comes to bed and loves to curl up by your neck. Such a sweetie pie......
Anyways we left for vacation last month on the 17th of Sept. and we are now making our way back home. Funny how a month can go by so quickly when your away from home.
Anyway they are all great travelers in the motor home along with there big cages that i have had to make room for so that they are secure when we are driving, but watch out when we are parked as they make good use of that time running all over the motor home. Can't wait to see what there going to do when they get home... Oh yes i have 3 other babies that we took along as well.
This is left to right, Honey, Cooper, & Ralphie plus all our other cats yup call us the mobile cat house.
Anyway will start posting about our trip to Utah and Az
