The rain predicted for Monday started at noon and didn’t stop until sometime in the middle of the night. We got a 40 minute walk in during the morning and then we sat in the RV all afternoon. I worked on my photo albums and completed two of them from 2014 but still have one more to do. Because we were getting antsy, John took me out to dinner.
Nope not gonna belly crawl under the rock.
Tuesday dawned bright and partly cloudy so we headed out to hike a canyon. The Smoketree Tinajas trail was suppose to lead us to an area where water gathers in depressions in the rock (called tinajas) but we either walked up the wrong wash into the wrong canyon or took a wrong turn into the canyon or didn’t turn when we were supposed to. Either way, we did not find any tinajas but we did have an interesting hike.
The entrance to the canyon was very, very wide with what looked to us to be several washes, so when the directions said to stay left where two major washes come together we weren’t sure where that point happened. And that’s the reason for the confusion. The canyon we walked into narrowed fairly gradually but the floor was strewn with more and more boulders that we walked around and then climbed around and then climbed over! Until we got to the one boulder that totally blocked the canyon unless we wanted to crawl under it! John and I were not willing to take the chance that a famous California earthquake would happen just at the moment we were under the rock! So we had lunch and then walked out, logging 5 miles on the pedometer.
Today should warm us nicely in time for our golf tee time.
