Great reports so far, thanks.  Funny, I thought at first you captured a four horned sheep, but then I went back and found the second set of shoulders!

Excellent photos of fine examples of cross-bedding in a number of those sandstone outcrops. Another wonderful geology tour to tag along on!

 This is why I often don't even bring a camera anymore. Mrs. Ted's photos were so much better than mine I just accepted reality and enjoy her photos.

 

Nice colors in the sandstone.

 

Yes, Mrs Ted does a great job with the camera. You do too, Ted! :)

 

very enjoyable!

 

Thanks Vic!

I’m loving the Kofa segment! The rock art, mortars at the shelters, tinajas... I need to visit! Thank you for the chance to check it out vicariously!

Enjoyed the first two installments!  Looking forward to reading about the rest of the trip!

 

Thanks Cayuse! Hope you enjoy the next installments! :)

 

Very nice photos! Love the shots of the ewes on the Prospect trail.

 

The ewes and little ones were fun to be among!

Thanks Ski.

Thanks Frank! I was a great time returning to Valley of Fire!

Thanks Occidental! I too, had to take another look to sort out all the horns. :)
