In the Part 2 post there was also formations that reminded us of Toadstool Geological Park in Nebraska.<br /><br />We didn't see any little critter life but I am sure that there is. We know that there are definitely scorpions out there! We saw bird life too, a couple of nice hawks but unfortunately they wouldn't t pose for us.<br /><br />No I am sure they wouldn't pass the test in Canada or the US and that's one of the reasons we love places like this.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-41121611192983123712015-11-30T08:24:27.467-05:002015-11-30T08:24:27.467-05:00WIsh we could have spent more time out there hikin...WIsh we could have spent more time out there hiking but at least we got to see the wonderful scenery.<br /><br />Hoping to get Kevin's rash sorted out too, as you said it sort of takes away from such a great trip.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-13082996149435566792015-11-29T22:53:31.345-05:002015-11-29T22:53:31.345-05:00Wow, that's really reasonable for a three-hour...Wow, that's really reasonable for a three-hour tour!
