In my quest to get us out of the house and doing fun stuff...

[agilebrit]

We went down to Nine Mile Canyon on Saturday.

We thought it would be cool.

And it kind of was.

But it was also kind of a bust, to be honest. Either whoever wrote the guide to the canyon was on crack, or we are just that unobservant, because we didn't see a whole bunch of stuff that they said was there. And you've heard the phrase "forty miles of bad road"? Yeah. It's not paved. And it's more than forty miles. And it was hot. With no signage.

I want my BLM tax dollars to work harder than that, dammit.

And we also saw a huge fire. :(

But I got pix.

A random old house...thing:

Still more rock art:


The biggest bumblebee I've ever seen. Dude, the thing was about an inch and a half long:


And some more rock art:


And hey, yet more rock art:


So...it was kinda neat, but way too much for a day trip. Fer reals.
