Hello and some trip reports Jan 22

Chapter 3 Mummy

Right so we arrived back to DV from Utah half a day earlier than expected. Problem is I had no internet, no plan and no guide book ( ive solved that now). I had a waypoint in my map from couple of years ago to check out mummy canyon so we went with that.

First awesome thing is that the pigmy cedar was in bloom and there was a load of painted ladies fluttering about. We allways go in winter so seing blooms and butterflies was an absolute treat.

Inside the canyon is the mummy itself but as we get to the narrows we find also a bunch of old remains of roadrunners and a deer/sheep.

I remember in the back of my head that Kauri found a lions den in a nearby canyon. I start looking for signs of a cat. I did find bobcat scat. I dont know if they take down big horn sheep but maybe it was road kill or the canyon has been inhabited by different animals.

Sadly we make it to the end. Thats what sucks of mummy canyon. Its way too short. I was having so much fun :/
