Wind and rain continue to sculpt the spires and columns of this clay, badlands gorge. From afar the shapes are majestic and very much cathedral-like.  Close up, the intricate cracking, lumps, hollows and over hangs are fascinating.  Ravens and falcons lay claim to air space among the spires.  Sparrows and flycatchers dart among the bush.  Jack rabbits and cottontails emerge from hiding places if we get too close.  Game trails criss-cross the gorge.  The mule deer didn’t make a showing during our mid afternoon stroll.

Dark skies threatened off and on all day but we got only a sprinkle. It brought a rainbow!
