Neat Stuff With No Name (Virtual Hike)

Crossing Thousand Eyes (Virtual Hike)

Emerging from Skinny People one day Linny and Tom found an area of rocks with a thousand eyelets cut in them. Linny said "Tom, the rocks are watching us. I think there's a thousand eyes." So it is.

Land of the Skinny People

Years ago Linny and Tom were out exploring and came across a sort of petrified mud maize from millions of years ago. As they entered into it Linny said "Tom, I think skinny people used to live here." So it is.

Journey to the Rock Garden (Virtual Hike)

Paris (Virtual Moment)

Kristin helps around the lodge. She brings her dog, Paris. Paris walks a little different as she still has a bullet in her but she loves to hike. On this day Tom has been exploring the finger canyons looking for the home of the Sharp-shinned that has returned despite their February agreement to go after the song birds. In the fourth finger canyon that required some climbing to get to, and where Tom previously had found the Sharp-shinned, he called for Paris to join him but she never came. Many times in canyons if you call too loudly a dog will go to the last echo. Once in the canyon Tom finds the Sharp-shinned has moved it's nest higher up the canyon wall. From below Tom can hear a young Sharp-shinned calling for food and understands why the agreement was violated. You have to do whatever you have to do for your family. Returning to the central finger canyon Tom can see Paris searching all over for Tom and realizes what she's going through. About this time last year Paris was with Josh and Kristin hiking and climbing when Josh fell. By the time Kristin and Paris reached him and got phone coverage to get a rescue team there Josh had passed.
