Rough Country to hike

We thought we would share with you some of the photos we took today of the country that we had to traverse to get to the Geochache. There was a lot of sage brush, some catus, and a lot of loose rocks. Deep cuts making it hard to find a way to the destination. We made the best time by traveling the wash at the bottom in a roundabout way and it was easier walking even though it went farther. Straight line traveling is not in the cards here!
The views shown here were all taken from the top of the mesa.

The white dot at the bottom of the picture below is Barbara wondering if I would ever come back. I was out of sight to her for quite some time and she called me on my cell phone to check my welfare! Modern life in the rough country!
