Back from the Red Center


Well, we survived our Wayoutback adventure and it was fantastic! I will try to back up a few days and post some pics and notes about all that we did, but in a nutshell, it was a wonderful five days of traveling places we would never have been able to go without the truck we were in or the driver we had! Sleeping under the stars of the Southern Hemisphere was much more magnificent than we ever imagined. Seeing the Milky Way and the Southern Cross plus many more constellations each night was amazing. The temperature varied between low 50's upper 40's overnight to upper 80's during the days. We took several hikes (two of them over 7 km, about 4 hours) up and down the rocks, canyons, and rivers (all dry by the way). The group was small, 11 plus the driver, whom all became fast friends over the days we spent together. Wouldn't have missed it for the world. Stay tuned for more details and pictures........
