The pretty short adventure (lasted 28min 15sec.)

Cudn't explain my extended absence from blogs!....I've got to defend my thesis in a couple of months...so had been getting busy with that (beleivable eh!)....had been to Paloduro canyons...a really gorgeous gorge formation close by...and for the best part went Hiking ....it was fun....imagine getting scared at the smallest of bugs and tadpoles......and the pertinent fear that a Rattle snake might pop up any moment...although we've been throughly informed abt the absence of poisonous snakes in that area.....and for the prized possesions of the jaunt...we got a twig, which doubled up as an actve weapon against intutive (and whole lot big) bees....genuinely thrilled when we found a nice stream out of nowhere in the middle of a crumbling clay mountain....all this a not more than 500m from the makeshift parkinglot of our car.....and all the while we left empty coke bottles in the event of us getting lost....and the unanimous decision that adventures with nature are better suited for viewing reclined in the couch..... For a lil bit of history...Palo Duro is Spanish for "Hard Wood" but every1 who went there wud agree otherwise....chanced upon a few animals a couple of spotted deers...unfortunately that's all we cud catch glimpse of apart from a overgrown turkey....and the fact that those weren't found inside the lush forest but on the parking lots...myabe they'd prefer some human company...so back home with an hour spent at an oulet mall in a small town nearby...didn't fund much to my liking....ciao....
