Just a few days left on my European trip, a fact that elicits positive and negative reactions from me. Climbing wise I feel that I'm finally starting to get back in shape but I'm also ready to go home. Tent living has gotten old, I miss Theresa and the girls, etc. So I'll try to make the most of my last few days and then run for the border.
The arrival of a new calendar month has brought warmer temperatures and lots of people. My formerly quiet campground (El Puente) is now quite crowded, mostly with Canyoners. School holidays are in full effect now so there's no shortage of kids from very young to teenagers. Things aren't so bad but people stay up late here with the Spanish schedule in full effect. Two nights ago there was a family firing up the barbecue grill for dinner at 1230A, a not so rare occurrence.
My Once Quiet Abode
Two days ago I went on a long hike in the afternoon that climbs the ridge above the Mascun and Andrebot gorges. Some pictures:
The church spire in the Village of Rodellar is visible in the middle left of the picture.
These yellow blooms flowers only seem to bloom at a certain height, about 2000 feet above the gorge floor.
A view down into the Andrebot gorge. The deserted village of Otin can barely be seen following the path in the center of the image. Fields of the yellow flowers are also present.
Finally a few climbing pictures. These are of Meghan ? from Canada on and off her project. She sent in style next try.
