May 16th, 2015...Back to Canyonlands and more hiking..

We got up, enjoyed some coffee and eggs and just enjoyed a bit of time around the Casita before heading back to Canyonlands. It was a beautiful morning, cool but so pretty. To be honest, we haven't had many mornings to sit outside! But I am not complaining about the weather, it has been lovely and cool and we have loved it! We don't mind sitting outside with our fleeces on!

We had a really nice day looking over many overlooks and short hikes, we didn’t do any long ones today, Larry didn’t feel up to it and I have developed a blister on top of my little toe that is giving me fits! So even though cold, I am in my Chaco's today in hopes that will let things heal! But that did not keep us from taking in lots of amazing views!!!

 

 

 

 Love this man!

This may be my favorite...the clouds, the colors of the sky, clouds and those rocks again!

 We came back to the campground about 2:45 and Larry took about a 2 ½ half hour nap! Yeah for him!!! I did some reading, which was fun for me and then we got ready as we are taking a Colorado River Boat Tour tonight. The boat ride was very nice and really was cool to see this MASSIVE river from this angle. The captain was a really nice young man and had a very cute dry sense of humor so he made it quite fun, that part we loved. Saw some rock climbers and lots of cool sights! When we returned to the dock the second part of our tour was advertised as a "Dutch Oven Meal"...but it was horrible. They had put food into aluminum pots to serve it but there was nothing dutch over about it! Yuck. We were so disappointed and then we (all the people on the boat) sat at one long table…awkward!!! Then we left. Thankfully the boat tour was good and we got some great pictures, especially of a storm-clouds building. 

I was so excited from far away...when I saw the colors of this bird, I thought it was an eagle...but it wasn't. :(

 

 Okay, so these clouds were sooo cool...as you can see I could not quit taking pictures!!!

  When we went to two different pharmacies looking for something for me to put over the blister so we can hike tomorrow! Hope it works cause I am planning on hiking in Moah another day! Another a very good day. It has been fairly cool and rainy (COLD at times) the entire time we have been a Moab. Tomorrow is suppose to be dryer and we are looking forward to some warm sunshine! We have worn coats every day since arriving. Funny considering they are usually in the upper 80’s by this time. We love this weather, just a little more challenging to hike when the trails are wet, slick and muddy. 

We called it a night, watched some "Unit" and enjoyed a wonderful nights sleep!
