A few days rambling through a favorite place with @ramblinghemlock
@ramblinghemlock and I went on some local hikes between Moab's downpours.
Flash flood warnings made @ramblinghemlock and me reevaluate our weekend packrafting plans. The rain arrived yesterday, and today brought partly cloudy skies.
@ramblinghemlock and I had some company in town this weekend, along with some very muddy roads. A quick trip to a place just off the pavement proved perfect for our needs. Plenty of water-filled potholes, great views from the canyon rim, and a memorable sunset.
Snow in our local mountains yesterday and today. And, of course, flooding in the desert. Much-needed precip, but the wet, heavy New England-style snow caused quite a few blowdowns. Gonna be interesting...
"The mayor of Willcox in southern Arizona is optimistic that Chiricahua National Monument will soon be the country’s 64th National Park.
