Day 6 is yesterday of course. I couldn't update the blog due to being out camping in the middle of Palo Duro Canyon. Yesterday started off with leaving Tulsa. Tulsa... is a lot of fun apparently. It may not have all that much to do; but if you are couchsurfing and end up staying with somebody that lives on campus... it can end up being a lot of fun. Everybody was very laid back and friendly. Even the people that didn't seem like they would be were very open minded and friendly. That could just be my experience, but there is definately a presence of a friendlier personality out in the mid-west.
Palu Duro Canyon; after driving for hours we ended up getting close the the canyon. We knew we were close, but there were no real signs of being in a canyon. Very suddenly the canyon just appears and overwhelms. The place is huge. It is actually the second largest canyon in the U.S. behind the Grand Canyon. So why not camp in it?
The place is absolutely amazing. The freedom you feel when hiking in a place out in the middle of such an enormous environment is liberating. We actually woke up in the night due to hearing coyotes howling and barking in the distance. The whole experience was unreal. The morning consisted of hiking and climbing up a few rock formations. There are plenty of awesome pictures that I will be uploading another time. We also found authentic Native American paintings on our hike back to the car in the morning.
