Just before sunrise, I woke and looked at the sky. I closed my eyes for a bit more sleep.
This morning, Nancy made pancakes. We settled into the heat and relaxed most of the day. The ravens didn’t seem to mind the heat; two sat on the shade structures over picnic tables, moving between ours and the two other occupied sites.
But the shade is no match for the heat. Moe looks miserable moving from being near us to under the camper. He is panting, so I soak a face cloth with cool water and place it on his back, securing it by tucking it under his collar. This seems to be working.
Dinner is teriyaki beef over rice. After the clean-up, we drive to Cutthroat Castle, where we hike to the ruins.
We then drive to Painted Hands Pueblo to hike the rim before sunset.
Driving back to our campsite, the sunset is on our right as we headed south.
