More Penitente Canyon

[RGINN]

Just a couple more. Cactus in bloom, which I messed the focus up on, and what they call the natural arch over west of there. And if ever I was to believe something was a Spanish treasure sign or symbol, that owl looking rock would get my vote, haha!

Wait tell you come across the petroglyphs and the hieroglyphs in that canyon they are wild.

Here's the 'Mysterious San Luis Valley' part. I was camped in the BLM campground up above on the south rim of the canyon. Nobody else was in the campground. The camp host was down below me on a spot in the canyon. Sometime after 10pm I guess a group of girl scouts came in and camped about a 100yds south of me. They were giggling and carrying on like girls on a campout do and woke me up, but didn't bother me. I had taken the tarp off my rock shelter and thought I'd just lay there and watch the stars for a while. At 11:25pm the loudest explosion I've heard in a while went off to the north of me and echoed in the canyon. The gigglers even got real quiet. There was no flash and not a cloud in the sky. I climbed up on the tallest rock to look down as I thought maybe the camp host's RV had blown up. Nothin happenin there, no sight of anything on the horizon all around. No emergency vehicles started flooding the area. Next morning, I checked all around as best I could, but all was copasetic and still in place. There's no construction work, no active mining, no avalanche or rock slide control goin on right around there. I have no clue what it was, but for now I have an unexplained San Luis Valley experience.

Cool place. I sometimes take the jog around there when I go to the SW part of the state. It be a good area to stash a treasure I've always thought.
