bodldopsSo, after a bit of a rocky start, Mom and Sis went to the RV to chill out for the day, and Dad and I took off down Paradise Valley.
...
No one mentioned there wouldn't be a trail for most of the way. >.<
But, it was really pretty, and there were tons of wildflowers. We hiked down the river gorge, over the river (which was scary!) to see down into the valley, over Dearshit Saddle (our name) to try to climb down into said valley, gave up on said valley when I decided the view wasn't worth screwing up my knee, back up the saddle and up the ridgeline to hike up on the bluffs back to the truck. All in all, almost 4 miles. Not too bad.
Then I spent the rest of the day lounging around, reading (and finishing) the second book in the Nate Starbuck chronicles, working on my knitting (so, so slow. so slow.) and getting utterly whipped by my sis in Canasta. We had chili for dinner (yum!).
Today, we're driving over to Devil's Tower. Am excited, since I've never been. :D
