July vacation (con't)

The rest of the week was spent hiking on Tuesday and Thursday. plus a day of learning to fly fish in the middle on Wednesday. Caryl even decided to give it a shot, and what a hoot! As you can see, we did not have to go looking for local fauna, as it gave us a number of shots by wandering on the property.

Finally, we had to start back home, and spent a few hours on Friday at the Royal Gorge, home of the world's highest suspension bridge. I HAD to drive over the bridge to complete the experience! After that, it was on to Durango, CO, to spend the night. The next day, we stopped at 4 Corners (aptly named as you can stand in 4 states at once) for our final tourist stop, and a little shopping from the local native Indian artists. We had to fill up with gas in Flagstaff, and got one last taste of cool weather as it was rainy and cool there, much unlike the hot weather that awaited us as we reluctantly exited the truck a couple of hours later in Phoenix!
