Wednesday, November 4
Woke early and after a blah sunrise, I did take a picture of the floor of Cross Canyon as the rising sun started lighting it up:
I then drove about 2 hours to the Valley of the Gods and ended up in the same spot I used last time I was here. Tell me, do the photos below tell other campers that this site is occupied and no room for more?
Later on, I rode Fiona over to Mexican Hat Rock for pics:
Turns out, there's a couple or so camping sites behind the Mexican Hat Formation, not much cell signal though and there's the constant traffic of folks taking pics of Mexican Hat Rock!
Next, Fiona and I rode over to Goosenecks State Park and though the lighting was quite flat due to the noonday sun, it was good enough:
Can you spot Fiona?
Bear's Ears Rock
Returning to camp, I stopped to pose Fiona in front of the Seven Sailors Rock formation:
I rested the afternoon away, and soon after 4PM, rolled out again towards Goosenecks State Park for the sunset, which turned out to be blah and the lighting wasn't great anyways for the canyons, though it did light up Bear's Ears Rock nicely:
A quick ride over to Mexican Hat Rock:
Rode home in the gathering darkness with no issues and no campers trying to share my camping spot so it was a good day overall.

What is the name of that place, the horseshoe bend in the river?
Is there still a lot of smoke in the air? Or a dust haze cutting down the light?
CCjon, it’s the Goosenecks State Park, and it was just haze I think for I didn’t smell smoke.
Nice photos and camping site! Nice late afternoon lighting. I think a few camper vans can squeeze in...
You’re a funny man RichardM, funny. I’ve just displaced to a nearby site that’s Smaller and more secluded.....anti-neighbor measures are in place, hopefully they work.
