here's Jay taking an unscheduled break
just to break away for a minute. But a question has haunted me since I left AZ.... How many people are so ignorant that they have thrown lit cigarettes into the pit toilets at national parks? Every one you go near has 3 or 4 "No Smoking" signs on it & in it. Plus plenty of universal diagrams showing this. Who would even smoke in a pit toilet? Nevermind.
ooh, there's some down still to go
there's our footbridge across the crik'
lotsa' red and lotsa switchbacks
but they lead to views like these
a few more shots of Phantom Canyon
followed by Paul with an unscheduled break
but sometimes you have to stop & just look around
other times there's work to be done
a helipad and a pumphouse and a little trail on the right
here I take a picture of someone taking a picture, Wow!
I call this one Insignificance
here Jay shows off his 5 lbs of trail mix
a few lbs of these mysteriously disappeared one night when he visited the facilities
this one is for all the ladies
if you think they look good, you should smell 'em!
didn't even have to leave the campsite for this one
the first part of the trail just follows the creek
I repeat, you cannot protect people from themselves
