Window on Cherry Pie Lane

Sunday, February 6 – And now on to the Lower Canyon. I posted three shots that I took with the G11 already so you have a hint of what it is like down there. Those were as we entered, these are down at the bottom. This is the canyon where 11 people drowned some years ago when a flash flood came through. After being down there, I can understand how they could not get out. Since then, the family who owns it put ropes at the top that can be thrown down in just such an emergency. They say that it can rain miles away and cause a flash flood. So the fellows that check you in at the gate are supposed to keep current on the weather in the area. We were just escorted to the opening and turned loose all by ourselves. It was the most serene and spiritual place that I have ever been.  You do need to dress very warm and carry a flashlight to see the settings on your camera, as it is very dark. I can not wait to go back here. It was worth squeezing in (yikes, my claustrophobia) and climbing out 150 feet (yikes even more, my fear of heights. Enjoy.
