Hey all. Today at the picture point we were mere minutes away from a snowball fight…. Honestly. Being about 10,000 feet above sea level, that is only reasonable. Currently, we have just finished studying Indian petroglyphs from over 2,000 years ago. Very very interesting, and they make you wonder what caused the aincent people of America to scratch animals with beetle heads and long necks into the walls of a canyon. Many of them were abaelputley beautiful.
Earlier in the day, we bathed in the most minerals in the world. The hot springs we visited were 104 degrees and each person was only allowed 20 minutes in the water. even though it seems like a short time, it was one of the most relaxing 20 minutes of my life. If you ever have the opportunity, I highly recommend you do not pass it up.
