[at-l] What does a hiker do ...

[Jim Bullard]

to paraphrase an old song, 'If you can't be on the trail you love, love the
trail you're on.'

> For one thing, he doesn't do any backpacking.  But ..... that hasn't

> Arizona, Utah and southern Nevada searching for rock art sites (and
> finding them!)
>
> We've wandered in a large circle to some of the lesser known Indian ruins,
> petroglyph and pictograph sites -
> places with names like Tuzigoot, Tonto, Casa Malpais, Besh Bah Gowah, V
> Bar V, Lyman Lake, Chloride,
> Grapevine Canyon, Valley of Fire, Little Black Mountain, Santa Clara,
> Nampaweap and Snake Gulch.  And a
> couple that we won't name or give directions for.
>
> We also played tourist in Zion, Red Canyon, Pipe Spring and Toroweap.
> We've seen some really exciting
> and interesting rock art.  There is a lot of beautiful country along the
> Arizona Strip and we've enjoyed camping
> surrounded by the multicolored cliffs.  We've even had a few really good
> wildlife sightings, including a herd of
> desert bighorns in Red Rock Canyon and four condors circling the bridge at
> Marble Canyon.
>
> What next?  I think we're heading to Cedar Mesa in southern Utah.  There
> are a lot of canyons to explore there
> that are full of Anasazi ruins.  It's the type of country that is fun to
> get lost in, so we'll give it our best shot.

> Jim's ribs are getting better, but they still aren't healed.  He can hike,
> and carry a light pack, but still feels it
> every time he rolls over in bed and at the end of a long day.  He'll be
> glad to be able to put the pack on again -
> soon.
>
> The answer to the original question is simple -  If you can't do what
> you intended to do, then you have fun some
> other way.  And we have.
