on a mini-expedition to dig septarian nodules, explore the endless canyons and old copper and uranium mine sites, examine and photograph interesting petroglyph and pictograph panels, and generally knock around and have a good time. Several friends from Colorado will join in the big fun, taking about a week, and the weather forecast looks fabulous.
Sunset captured from the Wedge Overlook of the Little Grand Canyon of the San Rafael River, elevation around 6,300 feet. View is directly east, and the river is about 1,200 feet below the rim. I shot this several years ago during spring, immediately after an intense thunderstorm. I also recall that great numbers of spadefoot toads emerged and made quite a racket with their croaking.
