What Survives!

The Twisted Trees are lone survivors out here. Do they ever rot, someday maybe. They are fascinating the way they get twisted up from the wind.

The Seclusion

We found some!!! Seclusion that is. So far my experience in the Canyonlands has been different than I expected. The vastness, the beauty, that's all been inline with what I thought but I was expecting to be off more in the wilderness, away from the people. Even though the park is pretty unknown in the [...]

The Hoodoos

The majority of the Needles area of the park is covered in rock formations called the Hoodoos, An overview here shows these mushroom looking structures. The needles are condensed in one dense section but the Hoodoos sprawl out to cover the rest of the Needles section of the park.

Haiti?

At a first glance Mindelo looks like an average small city. It is old but clean and well kept. It is scattered with new state of the art buildings here and there. Its a quiet city, no hustle bustle of the shopping crowd just real life going on. The people are friendly, occasionally some approach to beg for money. But there is also a subtle presence of armed guards which makes one wonder. Then today we saw another side as well. After church we took a walk to the top of the canyon, not high compared to recent mountains climbed, and passed through housing as we left the city. One thought came to mind: Haiti. There were similarities. Not nearly the poverty level but close; dusty land with unpainted, cement block buildings. None really completely finished. Small structures of corrugated tin and plastic found in between. Kids were out playing in the dirt in full force, soccer being the popular game. Stray dogs wandered everywhere mostly trying to find a place to bask in the sun. It did have the feel of Haiti for sure.
