The body or the mind knew it was Sunday – my
boss had a sleep in this morning – I guess it was around 8 am when she climbed
out of the top of the bunk bed. I asked my woman if she could do something
about that smell: it’s all right for her to be outside all day, but Mona and me
– we have to stay here all day! She came back from the office: we can move any
time today to another cabin. Great! I hoped it would be rather sooner than
later – but my human wants to say goodbye to all the pinnacles in the park …
What a surprise: at 2 pm she is back already – boy that was a quick hike across
the bottom, doing peek-a-boo!
No, she answers,
she started the hike, surrounded by some other hikers, but kept an eye
on the sky and as soon as she heard some rumbling in the sky, she decided to
return. Boy, that return out of the amphitheatre was breath taking! Hiking in
high altitude (or running) is not so easy! Back at the highest point of the rim
(Bryce point) she took the shuttle to Sunset point, wanting to hike there a bit
and do some shopping at the lodge also. She finds it hard to go away from this
place, but in her mind she knows she has to move on! Good for us here at Ruby’s
stinking place that she decided to come back again. Once she opened the other
cabin – far away from stinky place – it was like being in a field of flowers! The
freshly cleaned cabin makes a nice refuge for us when there is a thunderstorm
in the park. Time for computer business. Later that afternoon – when the storm
is gone and after checking the weather radar – my woman heads back out to the
park and Bryce Point. Here she wanders around and enjoys the very bright views
down to the town of Tropic and the mountains in the distance.
She’s happy she
did go back in the park!
She keeps herself busy in the evening with packing her
panniers again – ready to move on – ready for the final downhill part into St.
George (with some climbs in between).
