I heard what sounded like an electric motor whirring above, look up to see California Condor #74 soaring close by, checking our state of decay:
That's an impressive wingspan. Perfect setting for it too, felt pretty lucky.
It was a hard place to leave but we had to start heading back. On the way we sighted a Kaibab Squirrel and what we thought was a Mexican Gray wolf because its tailed was carried horizontally, but I'm pretty sure it was a coyote. Our intended last night was going to be spent at White Pocket but we got the news in Fredonia that our new niece had made an early, emergency entry into the world and we zipped back east to meet her, though not before spending 2 hrs at the self serve car wash getting rid of the evidence.
Can't wait to return with more time and in our 110. We really enjoyed it even if we only managed to get to half the sites we thought we might. Taking the time to enjoy a few places is the way we like to go anyway. That mentality is sometimes hard to maintain amid so much possibility and only a short trip. Thanks for wading through the sea of photos and apologies for the dearth of expo bling in them, we really had none
