Hills
These are just down the road from the campsite. If you were to walk into this picture, and over the small hill at the bottom of the frame, you'd dead-end at Plunge Pool.
Mt. Sinai
See the peak on the left? That was just across the road for us. I began calling it Mount Sinai.
Morning light
Morning light on the hills. After a freezing, sleepless night the first night, I woke up before everyone else, and just stared up at the sky for a few hours.
Plunge Pool
This is the entrance to Plunge Pool. You weave through this high-ceilinged narrow passage for a few yards, then it opens up into a cavern that can comfortably hold several people.
Clouds
This was in the morning, when clouds were drifting across the sky. It was actually brighter than this, but my camera didn't quite capture it.
Ashleylight
This is Ashley, walking through one of the canyons. The warm-colored walls would catch and reflect the light, creating this golden atmosphere.
Good morning!
This is Ashley, eating a banana and looking cute. Behind her, you can see the hills that surrounded our campsite.
Cave Entrance
Here's Father David and Brian heading into another cavern. It's hard to believe that caves this size are just made from mud!
Cave
Sorry for the blurriness here. I was perched on a rockslide near the roof of the cave, looking down at Fr. David and Ashley.
the view
This is the view that greeted us after scrabbling up through one of the caves (Footprint Canyon, I think)
You can see why it's called the Borrego Badlands.

keyhole
This odd cave opening was in a mud wall above and behind our campsite. There was no way to get up there, so we don't know how big that cave might be.
