We're back from hiking Owl Canyon today.
"Wait, what?" you might be wondering. "What happened to all the pictures and video you always post from hiking trips?"
Those pictures and video are in the backlog. And to prevent this whole trip series from getting backlogged too badly I'm leaving them there for now and jumping ahead to this entry. I've skipped three blogs ahead! But to give you a taste I have prepared this one photo from the backlog:
Yup, the trail was rough in places. No, it wasn't that bad. Yes, we've seen worse. Far worse. I mean, we didn't suffer a slip or scrape on this trail. And I didn't even drop my camera off a cliff or in a swamp!
One thing the hike did do was tire us out. It also built our appetites. On the way back to the hotel we stopped for early dinner at Golden Corral. Yes, Golden Corral the buffet restaurant that's a favorite of the "Americans 350+ lbs. in motorized wheelchairs" demographic. I mean, the restaurant even has a motorized wheelchair parking area— you could say, corral— with a power strip for recharging... indoors by the restrooms. 🤣
Now we're back at the hotel and staying in for the night. We'll rest up, and I'll probably go to bed early again tonight. Tomorrow I want to get up early to head out to Valley of Fire State Park for a full day of hiking!
