Wednesday 8th April..one year later

As I have been without Internet for a few days I shall post these when I can but it would make sense to read them from Monday first.

I am still bruised from my little adventure yesterday and this is not a great photo but my whole arm is bruised and swollen but thankfully no lasting damage and it did not stop me having a full day of hiking.

The plan today was to have an easy morning then spend the day hiking and then come here for a shower and then leave the park and save myself 14 dollars and park outside the park in a spot where I actually parked last year.

There is a 5 mile scenic drive which I took to the endIMG_5932

For my faithful followers you will remember that my Brother Mally and Janet when they came out to SMA for a couple of weeks and we walked the Canyon there he found a 500 peso note, about 50 dollars, well the Pearson charm continuesIMG_5878 it was folded up on the trail and I opened it up for a photo shoot.  What a day I did not spend one single dollar but found 10!!!!
