Pouring Rain in the Desert

A tiny leak in the Earth Module is driving The Commander wild.  The window needs a little caulking.  The monsoon has hit and it may rain an inch.  Hopefully the net result will be blooming flowers everywhere in a few days.  Rain dramatically changes so much in the desert.  All the stream come alive.

Yesterday we were way up in a mountain valley.  The road we were on was exactly like some of those Mexican death roads you see on travel shows.  The road was chiseled out of a shear cliff.  Today the road would be suicide.  Rocks will be rolling down everywhere. 

On our trip yesterday we noticed one lonely camper in the mountain valley where we started our Devil's Chasm hike.  If the poor guy did not get out yesterday he will probably not get out for some time.  Rock slides will surely block the road today.
