HIKING AND KAYAKING

We hiked up a slot canyon this morning not to far from our campsite.  Not as pretty as some of the ones we have hiked in UT, but it was a good hike.  In the afternoon we went over to another lake/resevoir called Senator Wash and put our kayak in.  Made a trip all the way around it so the upper body got some exercise.  Warm day today and the best part was no wind or hardly any.

 

Here I am trudging along trying to keep up with Connie.

 

Some of the canyon was fairly open.

 

Found a number of "tanks" that the desert creatures use for water.  We have seen a number of wild burros - one with a little baby.  But no camera!!  They say the best camera is the one you have with you.  

 

Here is our put in point at Senator Wash.  Just another part of the Colorado River by Imperial Dam.

 

While I am getting the kayak ready, Connie is playing with the dog.  He sure does love the water.  He really gets excited when we get near it.  Can't see it, but smells the water.  He still chases sticks, but it takes a few thrown rocks for him to locate a stick.

 

Coming back to our launch site.  Our jeep is hardly visible under the middle tree.
