Desert Solitaire

Desert Solitaire is a favorite book of mine written by Edward Abbey about the desert in southern Utah.  I was reminded of it on the descent off of the mesa.  

It was an eventful day.  We saw a cowboy on a horse driving cows, a collered lizard,

found the best rest stop,

and crossed a vast wasteland of tall mesas, deep arroyos, and jumbled rock.  Yet there were flowers blooming and springs.

 There are no words.  And as I type it's raining and there is thunder and lightning and wind.  Kinda exciting when I'm cozy in my tent.
