Anniversary Trip: Visiting Friends

After Death Valley, we popped over to see some good friends who just moved out of the Bay Area.  I know, it is not really the time to visit friends, but we had been isolated in the desert for a week (and have been careful at home), they have been careful and were in our pod before moving recently, and at that point the local covid case rates weren't nearly as horrible as now. So, hello R & K!

We spent the weekend catching up, cleaning up, and admiring their new digs.  They have a lovely view of Lake Mead off the back patio.

Eat, drink, and be merry!  Hospitality is always good with R & K.

Being us, we egged them into exploring a nearby canyon.  Since it is a more populated area than where we were the previous week, there were a lot more people here, and some sketchy ropes in the trickier spots.  (I avoided the ropes where possible, as I don't trust ropes of uncertain age and provenance...)  This canyon was jolly as it had some hot springs down near the bottom.  I would have preferred there be fewer people (some of whom clearly didn't know what they were getting themselves into), but it was still fun.

Our wee dirtbag Sprinter parked next to their larger, more lux-o Sprinter.  Same platform, different priorities.  We're going to have to meet out in Death Valley or the Eastern Sierra at some point in the future for further mutual adventures.

Many thanks to R&K for a lovely weekend!
