Morning at Mesquite Springs CG
Ready for Red Wall Canyon - entrance at the “apex of the big allivial fan”
Somewhat unpleasant hiking on cobblestones
getting closer
lots of variety in rock
this reminded us of our kitchen counters
barrel cactus view of entrance to Red Wall canyon
Red Wall at last
Coyote melon
red rock
tortured rock - complex folding
more coyote melon
silhouette
red enough?
“the obstacle” - have to make a tricky move from just below the chockstone - we kept saying "but it looks so easy"
“these shoes are not meant for climbing - and that's just what they don't...”
Carol scouts it out
can't reach the next secure spot...
downcanyon
spent 45 minutes in Nevada - Beatty has to be close to the armpit of the world...
don't worry, we've got a plan for that nuclear waste. it won't escape for at least, oh, 20 years or so...
long, washboard road ahead
Greenery
the long and winding road
now we have “wild and distorted” e-mail scams
nicest house in town, short commute to work
at last
more tortured rock
something doesn't look natural - can't put our finger on it, 'tho
interesting rocks
View across the valley from Titus Canyon
