It’s siesta time on the Hayduke Trail. It’s 3:30 and hot out, maybe 85 or so. But for 3 boys from Montana, it’s hot. The sand must make it hotter too. We were on jeep roads for the first 14 miles today. You would think that would mean fast miles, but with seven liters of water and 6 days of food, it’s not so fast. We did ok though. Took a couple shade breaks, now we are siesta-ing.
We are off the road now, in a sweet canyon. I absolutely love the canyons on this trip so far. They have great colored rocks, many have no trails, so there is a good sense of adventure.
We have found a great spot here in the canyon, a waterhole and all. It has caddis in it, which Zach says may be a rare or undocumented species. He keeps wishing he had vials to collect samples.
d=rt says my beard is looking good. Finally, 25 years old, and I have a beard. Yay.
It’s almost 4 pm and we will be heading out soon. It feels amazing to be out here and I am stoked for more days in paradise.
