It's supposed to about 85 on top of the mountain and about 110 down in the desert (of course we will be spending time down there). I happy that you are out and about again Jenny! Looking forward to your photos. Thanks and you have a nice Fourth of July also.<br /><br />altadenahiker - You told me about the "poor man's grand canyon" a couple of years ago. I tried to find out where (and what) it was and couldn't find anything! I believe it though and will keep looking. I wish my granny was still alive.

My hiking and climbing skills may be good for my age, but they are nothing compared to what they used to be. You are right about having an RV to return to. I have to admit though, I enjoyed camping in this area also. Not very many people there at all. It can be dangerous in both places, deadly cold up there and deadly hot down here. thanks again!<br /><br />DEZMOND - Thanks Dezmond! It's beautiful there.<br /><br />Al Penwasser - For me, the dry heat out here is easier to take. You folks have been getting hammered back there.

Heck I'm in awe that you can climb and walk that far (we used to be better at it). Isn't it great to have your house along with you though, for dinner and sleep after your day out in the desert! I can imagine how quiet it must be.<br /><br />We are now in an area of Alaska that sort of reminds me of parts of the desert by JT and the Salton Sea, with lots of acres of nobody and then a lot of tumble-down shantys . Which seem like it would be much more dangerous to live in up here where it kinda' gets cold in the winter.Sallie (FullTime-Life)http://travelingrainvilles.typepad.com/traveling_homenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3342874076830001076.post-67132339835260889742014-06-27T22:00:49.725-07:002014-06-27T22:00:49.725-07:00Robin Andrea - Thanks Robin!

I hope you have a nice week also.<br /><br />Mandy Southgate - I agree with you about being able to see into another country. Overall, I prefer to be looking into France. There are a lot of wild animals in the US. Most people who haven't been here think that it's all cities. The people congregate in certain areas, but most of the US, is country.<br /><br />Wayne - It is a gold mine, but much of this place is remote, and extremely rough.

It's the only pictograph site in the park that they officially talk about.<br /><br />Should Fish More - Yep, we were in our RV. Camping is a relative term, right? Believe me, I've spent far more than my share of nights, sleeping on the ground. The RV makes it much cheaper to travel (as you know). We rarely eat in restaurants or spend the night in a hotel. I agree, it's nice to be warm.<br /><br />TexWisGirl - Very rough! Like I said, this spot was easy. Sometimes, it is very difficult. I agree that I'm pretty good at it, but I know a few people who are better at it, than I am. It's nice to have time to devote to it also. <br /><br />Sally - Thanks Sally!
