more to come...

a few more petroglyphs..and more to come....these were taken last weekend with Marsha & Madison. today i took the hike group to another area where more petroglyphs exist. it was our hiking group event for the day. as i was downloading the photos from today onto the computer tonite, the battery died, so i'll have to wait for the recharge. anyways, some of the petroglyphs i saw today were even better than these. much to my surprise i took 80+ photos there. i took this hike on thursday as a precursor for the group. i didn't remember seeing that many, but i found sum today i didn't see on thursday. it was a nice quiet hike for me initially. the group took off like bats out of hell down the trail not getting near the rocks where the petroglyphs were. so i was there all by myself taking photos and strolling along. i actually enjoyed it. eventually i did catch up with them at the end and harassed them about how they flew down the trail. we did come back the same route so they could see what they missed. it seemed like a short hike, but just right for a cold wind that was blowing during the sunshine. we also had quite a few more people than ususal, but that was just fine. a few arrived late and one showed i wasn't expecting at all. we chatted about a couple future hikes once it warms up. those are out of town and will make for a long day, but will be worth the adventure. so all in all, it's been a good day. now i'll relax and watch the football playoffs while doing homework for class. this past week i got all the homework done but a paper written. i'll wrap that up today so i can start anew with next week's assignment tomorrow. it's been a very busy week for me with the new addition of custodial duties. but for now i think we have the major kinks out of it thanks to Jane filling in for me last night. now for sum more rest and a little solitude. next week i'm basically not working except for a couple minor things, and unless Rev Julie calls me in for something. this will be her first official week being on board full time. she's already been busy as heck moving in this week. right now i just look forward to her talk tomorrow and have a sunday off...

how wonderful to participate in group hikes like this...and i've often found it very easy to take more pix than i ever dreamed. :) it's just easy to get lost in the moment. glad you had a good day.
