Very old graffitti? Or high art?
|
|
Interesting terrain changes
|
|

White rocks look like glacier carved to me

So windy that the camera strap blew into the picture
|
Hellllooo!
|
2:30. a beautiful day!
|
|
3:30pm Wide open spaces!
|
|
Brian says we have MORE freedom in Mexico. Hard to argue, since we haven't seen any people or signs telling us what not to do for days.
|
|
Wow! This land just doesn't quit!
|
|
The military digs trenches to ruin a runway.
|
This prevents any smugglers from using it
|
But it's sort of hard to tell what was a runway and what might be
|
5:20pm, we better get back to camp. It's been a great afternoon, and the weather has cooperated
|
6pm. Um, what's all this water? This was a good road when we left it this morning!
|
This wasn't so deep before!
|
Water crossing #1 of 3 on the way back to camp. It was just about 6 inches deep before!
|
It's getting dark too.
|
No photo of the other 2 water crossings. It got too dark. They were scary deep, like 3 feet, plus holes. I thought the day's adventure was supposed to be over already
|
Dec 30th 9:40am. This water has gone down quite a bit
|
We can easily drag the trailer across this now!
|
This one is moving pretty fast, but isn't too deep anymore
|
10am
|
12/30/04, 1pm, we have broken camp and headed out
|
Oops! Stepped in a hole
|
|
Water crossing #2 (headed away from camp)
|
|
|
Louise snaps some photos for your home viewing pleasure. Thanks Louise!
|
|
|
|
Water crossing #3 is deeper
|
But compared to last night, it's perfectly OK
|
|
|
|
Water has been rushing down this way for a few days now
|
I guess the water took 8 hours to make it down from the mountains to overflow this area
|
Brian opens the gate at the Palm Log Corral. this will be the only time he wears this hat.
|
More wide open spaces!
|
Looking for adventure, and a nice place to camp, we head south
|
It's already almost 3pm, so we better have lunch
|
|
Lots of cholla
|
|
|
|
Jack, the Rabbit. Since he's holding still, we can't see him.
|
Minutes later a 2nd rabbit came tearing across the road, going so fast his ears laid back! Zoom!
|
In the Cholla Forest
|
|
|
Tail bone? Neck bone? Back bone?
|
|
12/30, 4pm. Let's camp here!
|
|
We named this spot "Burro Canyon" because we heard them braying like old door hinges many times
|
Dave sues the Loppers to trim some dead wood for the fire (not the live tree)
|
So many different things to see if you turn around!
