Back in the desert again.

We arrived yesterday after a short drive (about an hour) in Seminole Canyon State Park. It was a pleasant drive on a nice sunny day. The park area reminded us of our time in Arizona a couple of years ago. Lots of prickly pear cactus as well as many other thorny plants out to get you. It's hard to believe that people actually lived here but as our hike leader said everything needed for survival is here. We were on a 2 hour guided hike into the canyon to see were people have lived for over 4000 years. They are not sure who the people who lived here were or how long they were here. Judging by the number of pictographs on the canyon walls they spent a lot of time and effort here.

It was nice to have shorts on again. We even put the air on in the trailer for a while, but rain and possibly snow is forecast for tomorrow. I think we'll sit tight. The desert is supposed to be interesting after a rain. We will see. In the meantime there are several bike paths in the park so we'll check them out today.
