Another Long Day........yesterday

Well, to begin.......
 Started by hiking to Mossy Cave in the lower part of Bryce Canyon.........it was again, beautiful. Sunnnnny,warm...striking.

Followed the Tropic Creek to a waterfall

passing spring flowers along the way

Walking below hoodoos with windows

So we climbed up to them

We walked to  Mossy Cave (eh , nothing special), so we stripped down and ambled up the next ridge

where it was was very windy, but very cool

On the way back we discovered a little critter

When we got back, it was time to leave Bryce (wah) and head north through the ranch country.

 Surrounded by snow capped mountains, these gorgeous, flat valleys were pocked with bulls, mothers with calves and horse ranches. We wound around and through gulches, over mountains, back in lush valleys, followed the course of brooks, passed wind swept lakes and meandered along until we reached I-15. 

Then we headed back to Temecula, (crossing Utah, Arizona, Nevada and into California).

Overall, the drove over 500 miles (yeow!) and arrived back at Sharons' at 9:00PM PST.

(Whew)
 The reason..............

Cesar, at California Westys, says the Westfalia will  be ready Thursday afternoon. 

The adventure re-begins..............
