Gooseneck

I am sitting in my tent in Gooseneck State Park, possibly having the most amazing night of the trip.


We arrived, started on dinner (chilli, polenta and steamed vegetables), put up our tents, kicked a football around and had drinks. The view, even at that point, was stellar. We are on the rim of an entrenched meandering river and can see Monument Valley in the distance.




We have a 360 degree view of the surrounding land, and have watched a whole catalogue of different weather unfold around us.

There was a lizard in this toilet

Tonight there was an epic storm over in the Monument Valley direction, but it hasn't moved this way so far. It was so cool having a conversation with someone and seeing a huge flash of lightning over their shoulder. As I write the lightning has diminished and and thunder is less frequent, having been replaced by Wild Bill playing Brown Eyed Girl on his guitar. What a night.
