Moon over Mouse's Tank 1

Petroglphy Canyon Trail is about a quarter mile long, but you are walking through fine, red sand the entire way.
Not an easy trek. The sun was already setting and the moon was on the rise when we started back. At the end of the trail
is Mouse's Tank, a huge natural rock basin (shaped, aptly, like a tank) named after a renegade Indian who hid out there in the 1890's.
To actually see the inside of Mouse's Tank, you have to do some climbing. I wasn't so interested in seeing the basin as I was in seeing
the moon from atop it. So I climbed, in the dwindling light, by myself (my husband and kids had already been up
and back down). It was an awesome sight.
