1155 October 6, 2024 Sunday Drive

Just after we had settled for the night, we could hear a coyote howling from somewhere to the west and then a short time later, another yipping and howling to the east. The sky was so black and dark. There was no moon and the stars were dazzling.

We were up and drinking our coffee and watching the pink and lavender sky; waiting for the sunrise. The sun was shining on the cliffs.

The scenery as we drove through Long Canyon was stunning.

We stopped to do a short hike into a deep vertical cleft in the rock. Sound echoed off the walls. It was a spiritual moment for me to be in this place today.

Long Canyon far below as we climbed again.

The inside of the Jeep is really dusty. There are these small starburst patterns in the dust…not sure how or why…

Pictures from the last leg of the journey.

We have not seen too many predatory birds. Tim let me get out of the car and walk back down the road to get this picture!

Old barn.

We drove through Dixie National Forest. After so many days of rocks, it was nice to see trees! The aspen trees are golden; some are already bare.

We took a turn to drive down to the reservoir. The cows were out and about today.

We had our breakfast down by the water.

We got back to Torrey at around noon. We moved our RV back to a full hookup site and unpacked and cleaned and did laundry. Tim was able to follow the Ravens game and he watched the NASCAR race. We have one more day here in Torrey before we move on again.
