Our first stop of the day was City of Rocks National Reserve:

In the 1840s, travellers on the California Trail signed their names on these rocks in axle grease:

A cute campsite:

We hiked around Bath Rock:

I hiked from Bath Rock to Parking Lot Rock:

We drove to Twin Sisters:

We continued north to overnight on the northern edge of the St. Anthony Dunes:

Not a bad spot:

After dark, I assembled the telescope and we did some astronomy.

See the alternating yellow line on the trip map for today’s drive.
