My dad and wife too, so I shared your site with them. I live in San Luis Obispo, up the road from you all. Am embarking on a two week road trip from CA to Denver in May. Taking 15 through Nevada/Utah to I70 east to Denver. VERY interested in your trips in Utah as I haven't been able to pin down exactly where I'm staying each night. I'm a planner, and winging it makes me anxious... plus I'm traveling with a friend who is pulling a 26 foot trailer (and a newbie to RVing) so it would be two of us trying to find an RV spot each night.

When we ...Gee, I can't get over all the water! When we hiked Palm Canyon at the end of Nov, it was dry except for the area just before to the palm grove. Last year we did Hellhole Canyon intent on finding that darn Maidenhair Falls which we couldn't find during our first visit. We hiked to the top of that canyon and realized we missed it since we were just about out. That was crazy with all the loose rock. I'm surprised we made it back down without injury. But...we heard a faint trickle on our way back down. We found it...by accident:) It was barely dripping. I can't believe you had a real waterfall!! Wow! Two snakes too many!! Glad you had a nice visit:)John and Pam (ohtheplacestheygo.wordpress.com)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10853924678665624403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5213114113819017671.post-88911412512947591832016-03-28T18:29:44.868-07:002016-03-28T18:29:44.868-07:00The sunset was pretty, but for me it is always a t...The sunset was pretty, but for me it is always a treat to welcome a new day with a magnificent sunrise!

Lo...That was definitely an awesome sunset you had. Love the pictures. I’d for sure hike a bit beyond for beauty and solitude beyond compare. Good spotting that rattler. I’m always on higher alert in the west than the east for poisonous snakes. I’m wondering what shoes you would say are “grippy” shoes. I’m not sure I’ve ever had a pair of shoes that really felt grippy. That’s a really sweet warbler picture. I always think that it is a big benefit to hike trails multiple times and see how they change. If there just weren’t so many trails to hike I could do a better job of multiple times. I’ve never seen a live boa in the wild. Cool! Thanks for the heads up on both campgrounds.Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00328866430156879312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5213114113819017671.post-12540077847505877112016-03-28T10:27:18.830-07:002016-03-28T10:27:18.830-07:00We so love this area.

The diamondback is spectacular - it's still too cold around Flagstaff to find many critters out and about. So glad you shared yours! Not easy to get a photo of the serpent without other people in it - nice timing :-) His new stuff is in a big lot near Aguanga if you need a sloth or dinosaur for the 5er!Jodee Gravelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02247098923871155546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5213114113819017671.post-90754292342312158342016-03-28T09:01:34.404-07:002016-03-28T09:01:34.404-07:00Great pics!, and a lovely boa too.
