Not the best nights sleep but I was still out the door by 7:15 am and my feet carried me across the desert floor to the copper mine I found last year. I once again found my way easily and managed to make it there and back in about 2 hours, over 12,000 steps. I was happy to be home.

| The greenish colour is oxidization. Very colourful, don’t you think? |
 |
| The walk is long but it was interesting. |
A coffee while resting in the sun and then we headed off to town for a few errands. A stop at Fry’s grocery store, some diesel and we were back home in time for happy hour.

| Sunrise. |

| Some of the views on my stroll. |
We parted ways again just as the sun dropped below the horizon and all headed inside to do our own stuff. Plans are afoot for tomorrow though.

| We are parked out there. |

| I took this on my homeward bound trek, but that is where I walked to the mine. |
Today’s pics were all taken this morning before 9:30 am. I hope you enjoy the stroll.
Until next time……
Take care, stay safe,

ReplyDeleteThanks Doug. I found the way across the wash where we had to leave the jeep when you and I went back there.

I love all the colors of the rocks. That area is so picturesque. Much prettier than here.

12,000 steps before breakfast? Are you trying to make us all look bad? If you are, you can stop at like 5,000 steps and call it good, you'll have me beat!
ReplyDeletelol. No, I wanted to get to the copper mine and that was of course around 6000 steps. Some days I can do it and other days I want someone to do it for me. lol. Are you volunteering?
