900 February 13, 2023 Sandstone Canyon
I went for my morning walk and our neighbors were standing outside. I told them that we had kept them in our thoughts last evening after seeing the ambulance there. They told me that the woman had fallen from the wet and slippery steps of her camper. She had to be flown out for treatment. She had 28 stitches and was in the ICU today. Continued prayers for her recovery…how quickly things can change.
I did a shorter 3 mile walk in the park today.
We ate breakfast and then took the Jeep for a ride to Fish Creek Wash.
We stopped to hike in a small box canyon.
We stopped again to hike to the Wind Caves. We have done this hike once before with Kyle and Allison. It is a moderately challenging, rather rigorous hike up a steep and rocky trail. The altitude gain is 250 feet in a very short distance. The view and exploring the Wind Caves was worth every bit of effort it took to get there!
We passed several places where there have been rock slides. Some of the rocks look so precarious. What makes them finally fall? Earthquakes, rain…
We drove to Sandstone Canyon. The walls are high and the passage narrow at times. Such a fun ride and one of our favorites!
Tim drove a little further…always on the prowl for a potential tent camping site. It will be too cold and windy this week to get out here.
