Miles From Nowhere

There were several large cries so loud it sounded right outside my tent.  It was coyotes, they were close but I couldn't see them.  The trail was a straight line to nowhere with miles stretching to the horizon both in front of us and behind.  

The basin is a vast ocean of endless land but look closer and you can appreciate it's miracles and uniqueness.  We came to a spring and there was a barrel beside it.  Opening the lid we found bocce balls and a notebook trail register.  

 It's been overcast and cool.  By mid summer it will be hot and dry.  I'm very thankful for the good water!  It is always windy except late evening and early morning, so we are getting tired and dreaming of food.
