IMG 3828  There's a story there for sure. IMG 3829  Finally getting dressed to ride, preparing for cold or "tactical" situations, as may be. IMG 3830  Lunch. Twisted Sistas. The food is a lot better than the name. House made bread. Coffee roasted next door. Yes. Yes. IMG 3832  Any red or orange flowers get my vote. IMG 3833  This was where I found out if I was the sort that would go out of his way to stand on the edge of a cliff to have a picture taken. IMG 3835  The canyon, one moment.
IMG 3836  Hell Roaring canyon. You can see the light passing through Tibbet's Arch upper left of center. IMG 3837  Then the sun comes out and we need another picture. IMG 3839  Aside from the mesas and the unique sandstone formations, there are a few conventional mountain ranges around that add to the ambience. IMG 3841  You can forgive a seedy casino for having mediocre ribeye, but a steak house has no excuse. Maybe the whole region has a terrible supplier or something. It looked like they didn't overcook it but it was tough and not very flavorful. IMG 4997  Moonrise near full. Glad I brought the real camera. IMG 5000  Finally starting to see the views from our campsite.
IMG 5001  Rocky ground is a more secure parking spot.
