Red Rocks or Bust!

The eponymous Joshua Tree

The eponymous Joshua Tree

Well I had a good boulder in J Tree, and managed to solo some easy scrambles to the tops of various peaks, before retiring to watch the sunset. A very pleasant experience indeed. It was hot there, as it is in Red Rocks. I am currently in the Starbucks just south of the Campsite, and look forward to watching the lights come up over the strip from where I watched it last time I was here, a very magican experience, I shall try and capture in in some way. Hopefully I get some of the Sunset Images from J Tree together in a mini movie when I find a few hours to work on them.

Interestingly last night I had to get out of the tent for a pee. Now I have seen the fat boy scout and he says to look in your shoes for scorpions, which I duly did. What the Spray Mears didn’t tell you was to also look out for the snake thinking your shoes were a good rock to hide under! I nearly jumped out of my skin, the fact it slithered under the tent after meant I was rather fearful of squashing it, although I did shake the tent for about ten minutes before  got in, anyone watch must have thought I was mad!

Oh I wished for a bend in the road!
