Quick camping trip - Suggestions? - Page 2

There's a campground nearby called Hole-In-The-Wall. I've driven by, but never camped there. I hear it has an official pee spot.

That's actually the one I've been eyeing. Looks like some cook scenery too.

What we'd really like is to drive the entire Mojove road - but I think we'll need more time for that.

Hungery Valley near Gorman has a camping area with lots of off road trails.

I hear Yellowstone is nice and I am sure it is less than a two hour drive from somewhere.

Yeah - but not from me... would sure love to go though.

Oohh, waiting on the photos! Glad you survived your weekend in the weather.

Definitely a tall tent is a very good thing. I have one that's technically much larger than I would otherwise need for me, but in which I can *stand up*. That was one of my major annoyances with my other tents, is that I couldn't do so.

Here's a view of Hole in the Wall

Desert view from Mitchell Caverns visitor center

Inside the caverns

Our ranger/tour guide was very much like Andy Griffith. Very friendly - dry sense of humor.

In part of the tour, he's asking us what a particular area looked like. He says some people think it looks like santa, others like budda, or (he gave a list.) "what does it look like to you?" he asked. No one answered... until my husband jokingly says "The virgin Mary?".... I laughed out loud. No one else on the tour did. It was funny. Then Andy Griffith says - no - she was on my toast this morning. (still no laughter from anyone but us.) lol

Looking up into the stalactites (sp?)

It was a very memorable tour and I highly recommend it.

Well darn it - none of my pictures are showing. Let's try a link to the album instead:

Nice pictures!

I think I saw some cave bacon in there.

That's not a nice thing to say about her husband.
