Let the most absent-minded of men be plunged in his deepest reveries—stand that man on his legs, set his feet a-going, and he will infallibly lead you to water, if water there be in all that region. Should you ever be athirst in the great American desert, try this experiment, if your caravan happens to be supplied with a metaphysical professor. Yes, as every one knows, meditation and water are wedded for ever. ~Herman Melville, Moby Dick
The last few weeks of our adventure this winter were spent in Arizona. After our hasty retreat from Joshua Tree National Park, we ended up camped alongside the Colorado River near Ehrenberg for about two weeks. We were able to get on the river in the catarafts a few times and enjoyed a couple of hikes and bike rides but, most of all, we both really loved the serenity that being near water brought to us.
OUR FIRST SUNSET AT OUR SPOT BESIDE THE COLORADO RIVER
OUR EHRENBERG HOME
THE KITTIES HAD FUN TOO
ON THE COLORADO RIVER
VIEW OF THE LCC FROM THE RIVER
ONE OF MY FAVORITE VIEWS NO MATTER WHAT THE SETTING
TROLLING UPSTREAM
WE FOUND AN ISLAND AND STOPPED FOR LUNCH
MAYBE WE SHOULD HEAD BACK BEFORE THE SUN SETS
ANOTHER GLORIOUS DISPLAY
WE JUST HAD TO SEE WHAT WAS ON THAT HILLTOP
VIEW OF THE RIVER FROM THE TOP
VIEW OF THE WASH FROM THE TOP
ONE LAST SUNSET IN EHRENBERG
