This Easter weekend we journeyed to the desert for our first camping trip since the accident. We packed up our gear and the dogs and headed out to the edge of Cedar Mesa in SE Utah. Our expectation - and our expectations are few these days - was to hang at camp and take some short strolls across easy slick rock or down a dirt road.
As it happens, a fellow desert rat gifted us with a rough map that depicted a hidden pictograph panel beneath the rim of the mesa. For those of you not familiar with the area, it was once inhabited by ancient peoples, 900-1200 years ago. Among other things, they left behind cliff dwellings, pottery shards and pictographs - drawings on the rock. Appropriately - this panel depicted birthing and Marilyn's hike and scramble to get there was just that - a rebirth of what she used to do and what we were so afraid that she had lost.
A link to that trip is here.

Longer desert treks and mountain peaks can't be far behind...

BEAUTIFUL!
Gareth and Marilyn I enjoyed the photos especially the shot of Marilyn looking out at the viewpoint. It's as if she is looking out toward her future which is looking brighter and better with each passing day. Thanks for sharing your weekend adventures.
