Hey folks! Christa's spending time with her sister this weekend, and I decided to take a little trip up north yesterday and hike the river. Snapped a few pix on my adventure to share with y'all
Hiking down the creek toward the river. Recent rains have sent flash floods through this area moving a lot of material around
A big old Cottonwood that has fallen since last time I was here. Looks like it was undermined by the flooding. Must have made a hell of a racket coming down! Then again, if no one was there to hear it..
Walking up and around
Ran into a couple of these lil guys along the way
Compare him to the spider he was eyeing (granted it was a big spider)
Many damsels along the way
Strange beetle crawlin' around
Lightning storm in this rock
Some flowers
Finally reached the river! Summer monsoons have it running rather muddy
Happy hunting grounds for rock hounds!
Had a great time out there as always, far removed from the big city. Saw a couple deer but they had the upper hand and were too quick to get captured on my camera. After a few hours I hiked back up to the truck and had a delicious tailgate lunch
A shot looking back as I drove out of the canyon
What a great day! OK found a few cool rocks out there to show you
Overcast and rainy this morning. Not that I'm complaining but it makes for a lotta glare in the pictures
Well I hope you enjoyed the trip, thanks for coming along
