I did have a plan or a specific image in mind. I just looked out my window at home and figured it might be a decent sunset and the FOMO [fear of missing out] took it from there. We had also had a little bit of rain come through the area the day before and so far I haven’t been able to pass on a chance to get my 4Runner out and splash through some mud. I headed out to Gold Canyon again and found that one of “my spots” has been removed. I’m not sure if that is a permanent change or just for the time being but it forced me to a different trailhead then I was used to. I took a short hike down the Lost Gold Mine trail, keeping a very close eye and ear out for snakes as it was close to sunset, has been quite a bit warmer than usual lately and I know they are starting to be more active this time of year. The evening was peaceful and while clouds didn’t catch as much of the sunset as I would have liked the green of the desert from the recent rain stood well against the more muted tones of the rock face as a golden haze settled toward twilight.
