May 27 -- part 3, going to Kanab

.

Here is a link to the interactive expedition map.



Heading through southern Utah to Kanab, where we will spend two nights.  Part of this drive went through northern Arizona, but I'm not sure where we were when the pics were taken.

Note dark rocks in lower left.  The next image will be looking down at the foot of those rocks.

Blooming cactus at the foot of the rocks.

Same formation at left as in the first image in this post.

Another cactus.  I see grass, and something with pale seeds sticking out from the stem (visible against shadowed rock, upper right), and whatever that green plant is (just left of center at the top), and many lichens (maybe of different kinds?).  Lots of life here.........

Rather high, wherever we were when I took this next one.  (Note apparently lifeless trees....)

The tallest red bit in the next image is high enough that we'll see it from several different angles.  I wish I knew what it was.  (I tried uploading one of the closer images to Google, and letting it try to figure it out, but it had no idea.  Alas.)

Hazy through-the-windshield shot.

Here's the mystery mountain again.

I think we are in Arizona now, but am not sure.  Pretty sure this is looking south.

Looks like rain ahead, in this next one.  I can't remember if any rain made it to the road surface, or if it evaporated before it got there.

In Kanab we stayed in an AirBnB townhouse.  We had three bedrooms and two bathrooms.  And a washer and dryer!  And a full kitchen, of course.  We went to the grocery, and made pasta for dinner.  (Our kitchen included some really fancy pots and pans -- but had no cheese grater.  We ended up using a vegetable peeler to shave cheese over tomato sauce.)

You can't tell, but there's a fence between the townhouse property and field which sometimes had a few horses.
