| The first canyon dispatched, we have a little lunch and head over to our next objective - the Black Newt. Here we are, finding a way into the canyon bottom. |
 |
The Black Newt was full of arches and natural bridges.
The seldom seen, with several bridges. |
 |
| And then the canyon got fun. It narrowed sharply, and got quite narrow. We climbed up 50 feet to get to a place we could fit. This shot is actually taken looking down-canyon. |
 |
| Squeezing through a narrow spot while Mae Westing. |
 |
| Jeff makes it look easy. Sticky shoes? Nah. Helmet? Nah. |
 |
| Two rattlers in little pothole. (Nat rescued them). |
 |
| We finish the canyon in mid-afternoon, and hang out in the shade, waiting for dusk. No real point in charging back up the hill to "Windy Point" until we really have to. |
 |
| Back at camp - a little R and R. The wind came up after dinner, and we retired early. |
