Wednesday at the Painted Rock

Our plans to hike Sequoia being foiled by the snow, we decided instead to go see Painted Rock

After driving to the middle of nowhere,


we walked along a muddy path for miles,


but it was totally worth it.



The rock itself was really beautiful,





and so were the paintings.




Ted and I spent some time talking about graffiti, and the human compulsion to make a mark,




and then we tried to make friends with an owl.


We walked back to the car,


and took a lot of the muddy path with us.
