It has been a couple years, but Cory, and Mr. and Mrs Kadizzle hiked up one of our favorite canyons yesterday. As alway in this dry desert the water does magic. We started in a dry stream bed. Walked one hundred yards up the stream and it was running. A significant stream was just as usual disappearing into the ground. This is a rugged hike, especially for two old people approaching 70. Cory is in his thirties and was like a gazelle jumping up over and climbing the rocks. It was good to have a young person. You have to see the wonderful pools of water to appreciate them. As we stood opposite Mrs. Kadizzle in the picture the temptation was to dive in. It was about a thirty foot drop, but the pool looked plenty deep. Oh it would have been fun. The water is very warm for this time of year. Up the canyon we went scrambling and getting scratched. You reach a point with one very difficult slick rock to get up and over. It was late in the day so we turned back. Few people know of this canyon. Like so many treasures that belong to us all it is under threat by the greed driven policies of the Trump aristocracy.
