Spring 2012: Monday (3/26) thru Thursday (3/29)


Sorry I haven’t updated this in a few days.   Monday was a day for laundry and grocery shopping.  Jeep week starts this weekend and the locals tell us the grocery stores will be picked clean, restaurants full, roads grid-locked, and parking downtown will be a major feat.  Tuesday we went back to hike Hells Revenge – seeing I didn’t get to see it from on top.  Wednesday was a lazy day for me anyway – Vaughan worked most of the day. 

Thursday I went to a place called Hole in the Rock.  A man and his wife with started excavating in the 40’s and when he finished 12 years later he had a cave/home that was 5000 sq ft with full kitchen, 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, an artist studio, etc.  The place was really amazing.  Later we went back out Kane Creek road to Hunter Canyon – lots more cliff roads going down switchbacks.  It was a beautiful hike along the base of a canyon. 


The hike up Hells Revenge - hard to believe people drive Jeeps up this.

Another section of Hells Revenge.  This guy is in a Suburban

These 2 girls walked their bikes up one side and then rode down the other. 
This gives a good perspective on the size of most fins.

Hole in the Rock from the outside.  
Three cave entries are enclosed so the home stays 65-75 degrees year round.

This is the main entry inside the home.




 This guy is ready for Jeep Week - body is covered with license plates and the rest is made of every kind of metal part you can find.

I found a throne in Hunter Canyon.  A much easier hike than those we've had so far.

The rock formations never cease to amaze.

Arch seen from way below in Hunter Canyon - this is actually up around 200 feet above us.
