I would count this photo as a complete success if it were an attempt to give our SUV a big rock tail.
Since I was really trying to show the extreme angle of our downward progress, I don't think it's really very good. From inside the cab of the Tahoe we couldn't see the road below us at all. This is where faith in physics supersedes everything your senses are telling you and you move forward.
That's Gene Autry Rock looming phalically above us, by the way.
Could we have asked for a more beautiful day?
I think not.
The Eastern Sierras as seen from the Alabama Hills. I've probably told you before that the rocks in the foreground are the same composition as those in the background, they've just been subjected to different extremes of the elements.
A really sweet dog we met while hiking. She was with another dog and two women.
We took the long way home, around the backside of the Alabama Hills, coming out about halfway to Independence on Moffat Ranch Road.
Hydra risks his life to entertain you.
We had fun running around the rocks with our friends G & B. They hadn't been there before. He's very into westerns and collects toy guns. G posed for a shot in the same position as Hopalong Cassidy did in front of Hoppy Rock!

Thanks for the photos!
Rock tail, hee heehee. You got SO many great pictures. You know, when G. gets his new camera maybe I will pick up his old one. I don't know how to take pictures but it seems like fun.
The hikes look fabulous! Next spring we are going to go to Utah and hike around...and hopefully sleep out under the stars at Natural Bridges Monument which is supposed to be very dark and good for stargazing.
We were going to go this coming weekend to the Tallgrass Prairie Preserve, but I think we're going to get thunderstorms, so maybe not.

Wow, that is BEAUTIFUL! How long does it take to drive out there?
Rose- Our friends were telling us that Bryce Canyon and somewhere else in Utah were things we really should go see. And that it's only about a 6 -8 hour drive for us. How far is it for you??
Liz-
Hmmm. I think it's about 3 hours from my place (the trailer slows us down) and so probably add an hour in zero traffic from your neck of the city. Red Rock Canyon's about 2 or 2 1/2 from you. There are other fun places closer, like Vasquez Rocks and the Devil's Punchbowl. I'd meet you and the kids there for a weekend hike!
