Neither of us are city people. We knocked out what we thought was important to see in LA faster than we expected and we have one more night in Soledad Canyon so we started the morning slowly, with 2 pots of coffee versus the normal one. The weather today is near perfect again. The high was in the low 80s and the night should be in the low 50s. We THINK the trailer is finally dry.
We have two campsites booked at Black Rock Canyon Campground in Joshua Tree National Park for the next three nights after Soledad Canyon where we will be camping with Stratis, who is now a lone traveler, Regina having returned home via plane. With this in mind, Kelly went to the grocery store in the afternoon to replenish our supplies while Paul put some time in on the blog.
We are both really enjoying listening to the yip and howl of the coyotes in the hills. Ranger finds them pretty distracting.
Special Note: The sheer number of crows and ravens in the area is remarkable. We’re used to seeing mostly crows at home with the occasional raven thrown in to support the NFL. Neither of us have ever seen so many in one area at a time. At any given time on a hot afternoon you can see up to a dozen swirling columns of crows and ravens circling lazily in heat risers across the canyon, each column with hundreds of black feathery bodies. The skies are frequently filled with them and we find we could sit and watch them swirl slowly through the skies all day.
