a hoodoo is a funny-looking pile of rocks. lots of hoodoos at tent rock national monument; they're the skinny rocks sticking straight up from the ground.
not so many pics of clouds today; they were mostly one big woolly mass of dark gray. instead, striped, textured rocks:
so very cool to look at, but after half an hour of hiking up this canyon, i maxed out on rocks + got tired + started thinking about dinner. i would've turned around and gone back to the car, except there was this girl ahead of me on the trail- maybe 10 years old, wearing glasses, long braids, + a backpack. i told myself i'd keep going as long as she kept going. unfortunately for me, she barreled thru the trail straight up to the top, which meant i did too, which meant a two hour hike. i wish they had abridged hikes for ppl like me w/short attention spans, a cliff notes version. but i guess it's not about rushing thru the hike, it's about the journey, blah blah blah. enlightenment is so very far away from me.
