Rainbow II

This morning, (31 May) we made the second "ZAG" which turns us generally towards home.  So procrastination and sloth have set in and I'll start rationalizing double, or slower, (if not completely missing) posts.

So yesterday Saturday 29 May, we "sat" around all morning nursing our backsides from the previous day's trail ride.  Mostly recovered by about noon we packed up and moved all of about 20 miles down the road to Red Canyon Campground which is located in a ..... RED CANYON!  Here we decided to stretch our legs out on a short late afternoon hike.

So who's brilliant idea was this?

OK, nice view.

Lets go take a nap.

Then today, (Sunday 31 May), we turn north to gain some elevation and stay ahead of the forecasted warming trend. Its a scenic byway, great for diving (3 small towns in 60 miles) with almost no traffic and nice broad vistas, and even some wildlife, (which we haven't seen that much of).

Ok.  It's only an over-sized squirrel, (Marmot actually), but we hadn't seen one
of these yet so PHOTO OP.

And a zillion pelicans.

Real open range-cowboys.

 Arrived at Millsite State Park late afternoon and served with nice view out the bedroom window.

Followed by a post sunset, full rainbow as a small rain squall passed through.  Who would have thought a pre-sunrise and post sunset full rainbow all in the same trip.

It was actually a weak double.

So good night from Millsite.  Tomorrow has some good stuff planned.

Brad and Val

And            HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY JULIA!
