If you can, see Jide to the right of the boulder... Now do you see the SIZE of this rock?!!

Friday afternoon there was a brief thunderstorm, but the skys cleared up near sundown.

SATURDAY APR. 10, 2004.

From our camp in the corral, the road can be driven 0.6 mi. to a major washout where the hike begins. Almost a mile up the trail this was the view.
