of a friendship that's very precious to me, and of hiking together! Today Alfredo introduced me to the Grasshopper Canyon trail - not far from here; just the other side of Cañoncito - which was pretty, shaded, rocky - alongside a mostly, but not entirely dry arroyo, where the stream water kept disappearing underground. A little rugged in places, but very easy underfoot, for the most part. Perfect quiet (well, apart from us chattering away as we caught up with news). A chipmunk. A grey squirrel. Some mysterious concrete blocks that, so far as I could tell from digging around on line when I got back, most probably were the relics of a gold mining enterprise.
A rock covered in hand prints, which spoke, quietly, to memory.
