It has been almost two months since we have set the RV up with no one on either side of us. This is a very nice campground out in the middle of nowhere and very few people using it. Of the 25 spaces available there are maybe six campers.
That’s our RV & Jeep lower right.
It was pretty cold when we got up this morning so our hike got put off until the sun warmed us up some despite the wind. We drove out on the Rainbow Loop through narrow, tight curves at the bottom of the canyon. Then we stopped so we could hike up a canyon. We actually hiked up two canyons, both of which had rockfalls at the end blocking our path. If a younger person had hiked this they might have been able to climb the rocks and continue on, but not us old fogies. There is something awe inspiring about being at the bottom of a canyon with tall, steep walls and trusting that nothing will fall down on top of you.
This afternoon, I convinced John to hike Owl Canyon the opposite direction, then climbing out and up to the top of the ridge that overlooks our campground. This could have been a long hike with fantastic vistas except that 30+ mph winds felt like they were going to blow us off the top and tumble us down to the bottom of the canyon.
The wind should let up sometime during the night, we hope!
